Titiwangsa Park
Must have rained heavily early this morning cos was greeted by cool weather & clear blue skies! He woke early too (before 7.30), so off we went to the park. He wanted Titiwangsa. Guess he does really miss it. Didnt put on the Neurosuit this time cos I suspect he might be coming down with a cold.
He didnt want to play with at the children's playgroung today. He wanted to see the horses! Told me yesterday that he's scared of the horses, but today, he still wants to see them!? So, we walked quite far to the horses stables/track. No horse riding today. It only operates on weekends & school holidays.
On the way there, I was observing his walking gait. He didnt run much today.
- He was definitely lifting up his leg from the hip much more, which is great.
- His right foot seemed to toe walk quite a bit initially, but not later.
- Weight on his right foot is not on the medial anymore, nor is the right foot turned out. Instead, it seemed to be the opposite now...turned in occasionally & weight on the outside of the foot (I dont know the terminology for it...my therapists is overseas!)
- He walked very nicely up a pebbly slope.
When we got to the stables, he was indeed scared. Held my hand so tightly. But not scared enough to want to be carried.
After we left the stables & grazing area, he wanted to be carried. His mood not right today. I think by then he was tired too.
I took the opportunity to introduce new vocabulary etc, related to what he saw around him today. E.g. grazing, pony, mane, swishing tail, hoof, hoof print, horse shoe, bathing the horse.
