Little Yogi

After lunch, Christopher declared that he wanted to do a workout. Because it was getting close to naptime, I didn't think his usual circuit training would be appropriate so we put on a relaxing yoga DVD for him. He and Daddy got straight to work on their mountain poses and standing forward bends...
As you can see, Chris chose to increase the difficulty level by doing his practice on a block. What was most amazing to us, however, was when he had to do tree pose (not one of Daddy's favorite poses). It is a pose where you have to stand on one leg, put one foot up like a kind of triangle on the inside of your standing thigh and then place your hands in prayer position. Christopher totally nailed it! And he did it on the block too. It was so funny to see how proud he was of himself.
Perhaps yoga is in our little man's future. I suppose it's better than football... definitely fewer concussions!
