you know, yesterday i went to a birthday party with all the kids and my mom. making playtime with the kids is a must. i love to play with my kids and it makes for good exercise. i don't care who says its not exercise, the more running around you do with the kids the more exercise you get.
i don't get to the gym ever so i do things that seem silly to the kids but your moving and jumping and getting your heart rate up. for instance, i play lightsabers with the hboys all the time. i run, jump, fall and swing all the time. excellent cardio workout and the boys love it. other times i pick them up and lift them like free weights. three sets of 10 with boys and girls that weigh anything from 19 to 35 pounds is a workout. i call it babyrobics. all the things you do that tire you out while playing is a workout. the best part of this is what you call a workout, your kids call playtime and fun.
i'm off the subject a little here, but yesterday at the party my little silent monkey did somethings that just lifted my heart. you see silent monkey doesn't talk much but yesterday he walked a to a lady at the party and started talking to her. he was saying colors and numbers that he really doesn't say at home all the time. he also climbed up a ramp by himself to slide down an inflatable slide. its things, be they big or little, that you have to be proud of and let them know you are proud of them. remember, babyrobics is a great weigh to get yourself in shape and a great way to see your kids laugh and smile. with them doing that, won;t your day just light up. all kids are a treasure, so every time you see yours be thankful.
