Yo-Ah

It's Yoga Monday!  Emma had fun at her class today, though there was the I-Need-To-Own-The-Chimes meltdown at first.  I took a bunch of photos at snack time - which we do after the class.  Every time I shot a photo she managed to quickly turn the back of her head to me.  This photo is the best one, plus it curiously has 3 orbs of light, one for each child in the photo!  Pretty special.  The largest one almost looks like a mandala.

Sorry, there is no photo of this one. So use your imagination!

I got my new MommYoga dvd last week and have been trying it out with Emma. So far we have made it through nearly 80% of the "class" a few times. Emma does get tired and usually demands to go nap about half to three quarters of the way through.

So the routine is: ask the majority of the house dogs to stay outside, not including Blanche of course. Lay out my yoga mat. Make a cushy baby yoga mat with baby blankets. Begin class.

Some of the poses you hold your baby, and some the baby goes on the floor. The first class Boomer stole the baby yoga mat...as in he curled himself up on the postage stamp sized baby landing zone. The second and third attempt at class only Blanche stuck around. I found that she would curl up on the back of my mat, but when Emma was on her mat Blanche would stand near her and gently sniff and nudge her. Then, next thing you know...Blanche is doing a energetic "downward dog" with Emma and me!

I swear, Blanche has a case of the Benjamin Buttons.
