Finally...Kindergarten! (And a little bit of Yoga)

Finally!
Monday Morning Asher woke up not feeling well...so I thought by the time school was to start
(12:00) he would be fine. But as the morning went on he felt worse and worse and pretty much slept all morning until I woke him up to check on him.
So I took his temp and it was 103! So as a result he missed the first day of Kindergarten! He was pretty sad, but wasn't to excited to go since he felt miserable.
By the evening he was starting to feel better and by Tuesday he was ready for Kindergarten!


Here he is, Tuesday morning!


Every morning the kids meet in the Library and they get a story read to them or they get to search the library for a quiet book to read. It is such a fabulous way to start out the day and Asher LOVES books so he really enjoys it.

Then when it is time for class to begin their teacher comes to the library and escorts them to class.


So far he has loved school and has been excited for the next day to come.

I have noticed that it is a little crazy in the morning this week. I don't know if it is the anticipation of school since we have the PM schedule or exactly what it is but the boys have been at each other all morning long it seems. So this morning I decided to pull out the yoga mats, and do a little self centering, and bring some peaceful feelings into our home. There is nothing more adorable then little ones doing yoga! Their little bodies in the poses actually come very natural and they have a lot of fun doing it! On the flip side it is a great way for them to experience quiet mouths so they can listen to their bodies. They listen to their breath and give thanks for having such awesome bodies that help them to run and play and stretch.



Namaste, and I'll post again soon!

Doesn't it figure that Asher would get sick right before the first day of school? I'm glad that he's feeling better and that it only took him a day to recover. I love the pics of the boys doing yoga! That is the cutest thing I've ever seen!!

Abby is SOOO happy to have Asher in her class, and if you ever want the real scoop on how he behaves just ask her!!!! Fun idea with the yoga, my girls love to do the yoga on my Power 90 workout with me- it really is cute to watch them, even Eva gets into it!

Those pictures are way too cute! I love Benson with his eyes closed. I couldn't stop laughing. Great way to calm them down. Who would have thought Yoga would do the trick?

Asher looks so handsome and grown up in his back pack in front of the school! What a cutie! I love the pictures of them doing yoga; so cute.

I can't believe Asher got sick on the first day. That's so sad. I love the library idea at his school. And I love the yoga pics. What an awesome way to exercise with your kids.
