I wanna turn the whole thing upside down

Lately Kate and Audrey have been spending a good 48% of their day upside down.

Especially Kate.  She is constantly upside down.  The other day I was trying to give her a good talkin’ to, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t get my point across.  We started out sitting at the top of the stairs and I was trying to get her to look into my eyes, but instead, she did a head stand on every stair all the way down, while I talked.

Between cartwheels, flips onto the couches, and somersaults, she rarely has her head above her waist.

Scott suggested that I do some yoga with the girls to help cultivate this… um… talent of theirs.  Or maybe to help them be upside down at more appropriate times rather than at meal time, prayer time, or scripture time.  So, I made a little card inviting them to Yoga with Mommy today and it was a big hit!

Audrey started getting pretty good at her head stands, but I just wasn’t fast enough to get her picture taken.

Kate prefers her own way of spastically kicking her way into her headstand than the controlled yoga way of doing it.

Simon got into the yoga too.  He was really cute at downward facing dog and at the warrior poses, but this is all I could get out of him once I got the camera out.

We ended with a nice relaxing lizard on rock pose.
