Yoga kiddos



Recently, we enrolled the kids in a yoga class. I didn't know anyone who had experience with the class so it was a bit of a gamble. My thought was to put Anna in yoga because she isn't interested in any other physically active classes. She doesn't have a passion for sports, and gymnastics doesn't appeal to her either. So I thought... How about yoga?

To my surprise, Abe walked right into the classroom with her and joined in. I had been a little nervous that his attention span might not lend itself to a quiet yoga setting. But this kid class is part yoga and breathing and part craft project and part movement exercise. No previous meditation experience required.

Today a fellow mother sat next to me on the couch in the sitting room while we waited for our kids. She asked me if my son was named Abe.

Yes...

She told me that last week the kids were asked to name one thing they were grateful for. Many children said Jesus or God. There must have been a spiritual theme going on with the kids that day, she reported.

But not Abe. Abe said he was grateful for donuts.

That's my boy.

Funny things Anna has said recently

Mike: Are you ready to go to bed tonight?
Anna: But will you stay up all night?
Mike: Well, I might stay up a little late. What do you think Mom and I do while you're sleeping at night?
Anna: Um, clean toilets.

*****

Anna: When I grow up I want to be a mom. A plain and simple mom like you.

*****
Scene: Maggie and Anna in the bathroom. Anna sitting on the potty.
Maggie: Anna, are you stopping yourself from going potty?
Anna: Yeah. I stop and then I go and then I stop and then I go. That way it makes music.

*****

Scene: Anna and Abe in her bedroom playing/arguing

Anna: Abe, you shouldn't be so foolish! Stop being so foolish!
Maggie: Anna, don't call Abe foolish. That isn't a very nice thing to say to someone. Where did you learn that word?
Anna: Sunday school. The foolish man built his house upon the sand. (sorry, this will only be funny if you know this story/choir song)

*****
Scene: Anna is in the bathroom, standing on her stool, straining to see herself in the mirror.
Mike: Anna, what are you doing?
Anna: I want to see my face to see if my face is beautiful enough to show Georgia tomorrow
Mike: It looks beautiful to me, but why don't you go look in the mirror in your room
Anna: (after a few moments in her room she starts jumping up and down) IT IS!
