Who they are, and where they came from
Their Heavenly Father loves them
Mom and Dad LOVE them no matter what
Santa only brings gifts to believers
and...
Working out is important!
I want them to grow up knowing that physical exercise is not only fun...but necessary. I don't care how skinny you naturally are...exercise is still IMPORTANT (especially when you eat as much junk food as I do)!!
I am by NO means a fitness expert or even fanatic, BUT on the odd days when I feel good (i.e. not completely exhausted from this pregnancy), we get all geared up (panties and tank tops for Hailey, onesie undershirts for Paige) and head on down to the basement to get in a good workout.
We do things like:
Yoga - downward dog (with my back acting as a ramp for anything and everything)
We do a little 'modified' Child's Pose
And we try to get in some abs too
Sometimes we get some stretching in too
It's pretty funny...you've got to see them doing jumping jacks. And Hailey's lunges and squats are HILARIOUS!!!
Anyway, I feel like I'm teaching them a good lesson. I hope they remember these times and learn to love fitness even more than me one day! And hopefully...just hopefully their form will improve:)
