Well so far I have finished up the first block of things I wanted to do... With a few exceptions....
We started our walk and lost a small monkey toy ME had brought along with her, so we searched and searched for her only to find her back on our porch. Dad came home to switch cars and so it just threw us all off, and the walk ended in an uninspired way. :-( So the kids went out back to play on their playground and just getting fresh air. I had to force GD to stay out, he hates the heat, and can be a real homebody if I dont make him get outside more.
This threw off all the yoga and movement, so we just spent extra time outside. The walk helps us come together and focus for yoga, and without it, yoga is more of a frustration than it is a centering exercise, so in order to preserve the integrity of it, I would rather skip it than attempt it and begin a pattern of grumpy yoga. :-)
I cleaned up the kitchen and started the living room, and I am now going to give the kids baths before we leave for GD's drama class. Then we will flow into the second block of our day. We are having to paddle extra fast to catch up with our rhythm, but we are making progress..... slowly.....

Hey, there. How do you do yoga with all three? Do you use a DVD or tape? Thanks, Tammi
Hey Tammi!
Well ME pretty much just joins in wherever she wants. She does more and more all the time, but mainly I focus on the boys. We use a DVD so that I can focus on them not doing something in a way that may harm them. We only do the warm up and Sun Salutation. The DVD we use is called, Yoga for Children: with Vasanthi Bhat and Students.
A funny thing is GM was doing underwater yoga this weekend at my Mom's house. I had to laugh, but it is funny how much it shows up in our lives. I have even heard GD tell another kid who was really hyped up and about to lose it, to take a few deep breaths and count to three when you exhale. LOL, Im just glad that they are learning how well it can work to calm and center themselves; even when we arent doing it as a family.
