Only a couple of hours after getting home it was time for Jake's horse riding lessons. He did really well, although he only wants to stay on the horse when it is moving (who wouldn't, the alternative is hitting the ground, I guess). He was a bit whiney, but she said he did a lot better than a lot of kids his age who sometimes cry their entire first lesson. We will try different approaches, and more variety than just walking in circles. His favorite part was giving Red cookies. Oh, and the helmet, he couldn't get enough of the helmet. I'm hoping its something he enjoys for a long time...the riding lessons, not the helmet.
When we were done he politely handed his helmet back to Crystal and said "Thank you" in words and sign.
He's asleep in his room now, worn out from a long day.
