2012 is turning out to be a interesting year. Even though only 2 months out of 12 has passed I have seen quite a stark change in the kids.
One of the biggest change is that Tiger girl is now self feeding. She can’t wait to use her set of spoon and bowl like a regular “big kid” and refuses to let me feed her during meals. Even though at 17 months old I still feel that she is not really that ready to use both the spoon and fork on her own but I have let her have her way as it will certainly make her more independent.
Have you or your kids made any great leaps recently?
It was after the birth of Doggie boy that I decided to take up Yoga. I heard that it was a good way to exercise and increase one’s flexibility. I got a Baby Om book and intended on following the activities stated in the book. It was far easier to read then to actually carry out those actions. A video would have been more suitable at that stage but I just didn’t have one. In the end I decided on signing up for a Yoga course and attended one at the nearby community centre.
It was interesting initially but as I got halfway through the course it got boring for me as I found the actions rather monotonous and too slow for my liking. Even though the actions were easy to follow and I didn’t have much difficulty with the different pose that I had to get into.
Yoga was suppose to help me calm the mind and put me in a meditative state . However I kept on looking at my watch and wondering when the lesson would end. My mind was thinking about what I would and could be doing after the class instead of letting time stay still and enjoy the class.
Yoga didn’t really assist me in weight lost and was more of a social activity then a real workout for me. I thought to myself that I should have taken up Pilate’s or something else which would give me a more intensive workout. I stopped going to the Yoga classes after the course had ended. Yoga is something which I have tried and won’t be trying again.
