The boys have had some fun going on the deck to play when the sun is out, even if it is a bit nippy. In fact, they are playing more and more together. Chase adores his big brother and Tate is so sweet, helping Chase and giving him things when needed (or even when fussed about and wanted).
Here is Chase signing cold, it is one of his best signs! I need to get it on video before he learns to say the word and he stops signing it.
Tate was very proud of this play-doh garden.
At school, Tate’s class made igloos and talked all about Alaska and how igloos are made. He loved it!
Chase loves smoothies, it almost doesn’t matter what I put in them, if I am drinking it and it comes from the blender, he wants some. Here is a pretty intense one with coconut milk, cranberries, spinach, zucchini, ice and a little stevia…I know, right?? But he wants it! Needless to say, the other boys do not want a glass.
Tate enjoyed the leftovers in the processor bowl after I finished making some cereal the other day. He sure is getting to be a ham in front of the camera! I am so glad the days of him not wanting his picture taken are over (for now anyway)!
Posture and neutral spine are new passions of mine. A move/stretch I have been trying to maintain throughout my day is squatting down to pick up anything – children, toys, dishes from the washer – instead of bending forward from the hip (which puts too much strain on the spine). And if I need to go all the way down, the ideal way is with heels down (a wonderful stretch for the Achilles tendon). Interesting thing I noticed is (once I started paying attention) that Chase naturally does this stretch when he goes down to the floor to play. So we are designed to bend this way (instead of forward bending like most do), just look at all the cultures of the world that sit this way regularly to eat or do whatever. Our muscles and joints get tighter as we age, which can be avoided or reversed – which I am trying diligently to do! OK – off my soap box, but interesting, yes?
