Big things got to happen for Maple over the weekend! 🩵
I've been working with her a lot on the ground these past 2 months. Desensitizing with flapping bags, putting weight on her back, and having her park next to the mounting block. All building blocks towards someone sitting on her back to make it a positive experience.
And thats exactly what happened, no shenanigans, no scooting forward, just a quiet easy walk around with weight on her bag and legs dangling on her side.
Sadie was a perfect person to have sit on her back (with parental approval!!!) Sadie was quiet but confident. Trusted me to be the ground person where Maple has a lot of trust in me.
Good first steps for the baby!!
