Happy Fall!


I realized that we are almost 3/4 of the way through the semester and I haven't blogged since the beginning of the semester.  It's been a very busy semester and I just haven't kept up with it like I should have.  I wanted to post a picture of Cameron in his Captain America costume from Halloween last week.   It's hard to believe that he will be 4 years old in March.  I have to go talk to his preschool class tomorrow about being a kinesiology professor, and while Cameron just loves the skeletal system, his preschool class might be a bigger challenge than teaching 18-22 year olds.  I have a graduate student that conducted her thesis research with a therapeutic horseback riding program held out in French Camp, MS (a very small but nice place with great facilities). She is looking at the influence of horseback riding on motor function among children with Autism.  Cameron just loves horses, so I decided to take him out there one day.  He had a great time and even got to ride a horse for the first time after the regular sessions were completed.  He got to go back out to French Camp again last week and ride a different horse.  I am looking forward to seeing the results of this study once Jennifer analyzes her data.  I'll post another blog soon analyzing some of the injuries that have occurred this football season.
