"extra-cise"

That's what Thomas calls exercise -- "extra-cise". He knows we need to extracise regularly in order to keep our bodies healthy. Whenever I pop in an extracise video at home the kids want to know what it's about, whether or not they can do it, etc. Two days ago I started a 30-day video program and the kids have been right there alongside me. Not always good (for me), but they are enjoying the daily extracise time with me. They have found that bottled waters make great hand weights. Thomas' favorite are arm circles during warm up and the punching sequence. Meredith's favorite are jumping jacks and lunges. It's nice to see them understand the importance of taking care of their bodies already...
