Exercising Skills

These past few weeks I have done a lot more exercising than I normally do.  This means that the girls have picked up some awesome skills as I usually do it in the morning while they are "playing".   Here are some fun things they have picked up.  They are quite the mimics.

 - The other day I was doing squats and kicking to the side.  After several rounds of this I finally looked at the girls and saw that they were waddling along occasionally kicking to the side.  They thought it was very funny that mom was doing such weird tricks.

-  I was doing push-ups on the floor and Eve must have thought I needed some motivation because I was struggling.  She comes up to my head and squats and gives me the cheesiest grin as I am finishing up my mediocre push-ups.


- My favorite mimicking occurred just last week and a skill they still do.  I was walking around the kitchen and I see Sav go down on her knees.  She then puts her hands down and brings her head to the floor.  When her head reaches the floor she then grunts and pulls herself back up.  Can you tell what she is doing?  She is mimicking me doing a push-up (I do them on my knees because I can't do them the real way).  It makes me laugh because I must be pretty horrible at doing push-ups if that is what Sav thinks I look like.  The real kicker is that she grunts while doing it, which of course is what I do cause as I said before I stink at doing push-ups.  Below is a video of the girls doing push-ups with Ben.  I couldn't get the grunting but the push-ups are still pretty cute.

  1. So cute! We really need a video of your push-ups, though, to get the full comparison. :-)

  2. What a riot! Makes you realize that someone is ALWAYS watching you when you are a mom. Tons of pressure, but I know that you are such a good example and they are so lucky to have you as their mom!
