Exercises and fist bumps

Julia has perhaps been inspired by the stretching and strengthening regime I've embarked upon over the last few months, and she created her own exercise routine that she'd like to share with those of you ready to do some at-home workouts. Simply follow the steps she leads us through below to get great full-body fitness:



When not working out, she and Ethan have been teaching Madeleine how to do a fist bump, complete with a declaration of "Respect!" as the two fists meet. Here you can see Madeleine in training:


Finally, some quotes from the girls over the past few days:

JULIA: (waking Ethan up in the middle of the night) I had a bad dream!
ETHAN: What did you dream about?
JULIA: That there was a shark in my room.
ETHAN: Julia, do you know what would happen if a shark was in your room?
JULIA: (smiling nervously) Eat me?



MADELEINE: (pointing at my coffee mug) Atzat?
ME: That's my coffee. Can you say coffee?
MADELEINE: Boppy!


JULIA: (after we made "snow castles" using sand buckets outside today) Okay, Mommy, now let's play a shovel game.
ME: Okay. How do you play a shovel game?
JULIA: (pushing the shovel as deep into the snow as possible) You just hide a shovel, and then you find it, and then you make a nice walky place!

Duh. I should have known that's how you play a shovel game.
