No, I haven't rustled up those book reviews yet, but I have a few minutes while they're both sleeping and I don't want to forget what happened this morning because it was pure joy. Liam and Atticus and I attended our first day of yoga together. Well, it wasn't my first yoga class (although it has been a while...too long, in fact!) and it wasn't really theirs either since we went to the introductory free class when it was being offered a few weeks ago but that time we had Yossie with us so I wasn't at all sure how it was going to go today with one mama and two squirrelly boys.
It was delightful! They both did their fair share of wiggling off in opposite directions and extremely loud stage whispering (or in Atticus' case, loud babbling) while the teacher was talking but all things considered, I think it went really really well and I can see us continuing indefinitely. Liam calls it you-ga. "Remember you-ga, Mama? I stretched with the kids!"
"Inhale, exhale, life is grand!"

Tara - My children also do yoga with me at home. If you do too, have you found any great yoga children's books? I have a few, but wanted to see if you have any others!
Samwise wants to do some dog yoga! Does he already? Molly does this elaborate stretches that always make me think - YOGA! :)

Nicole- I love "My Daddy is a Pretzel" by Barron Baptiste. I haven't really found any others yet although the kids' yoga teacher reads a book in class each with that's not strictly about yoga but rather about noticing your feelings and learning methods for calming down, etc. I remember one of the books was this adorable story by Jeremy Tankard, I think it's called Grumpy Bird or something like that.
Trisha- I looooooooove watching Sam do yoga. He has a great cobra pose. It's the best. Thanks for posting that link too- I will check it out.
