My kids were off from school, the temps hit the 80's and for one final day we pretended it was summer. I picked up the house from a weekend of chaos and the kids played together all morning (yes, actually played without resorting to screams or tears or flying fists). The dog was part of their make believe world and a pretty good sport about wearing the tiara.
Around noon we packed a lunch, put the bikes in the van and headed to our favorite park. It's located near the Boston Marathon start and has a pretend marathon course around the perimeter so the kids can ride their bikes as much as they want without having to worry about cars or other obstacles. I could probably take the training wheels off my 4 year old's bike. I love how they barely touch the ground now. Hopefully by spring she will be mentally ready....
Tomorrow it's back to business. School for both kids and the YMCA for me. PT is done so I've planned a lovely 45 minute BFL weights workout, followed by a 30 min jog. The reward for a job well done will be a sauna and a long shower. That should cover the 2.5 hours that my little one is at preschool.
On another note, both kids are really into ice skating this fall. I signed them up on a whim, and not only are they good - they LOVE IT! I found a rink nearby with public hours (the one they take lessons at is for the sole use of the hockey and figure skating clubs) and I bought myself a pair of skates so that we can go together and get some extra practice time. I haven't skated in years, so I am hoping it's like bike riding... That said, I am finding that there are a lot of things I used to be able to do, that my brain still thinks I can do.... and I CAN'T... The list includes monkey bars and front walkovers --- OUCH!! In any case, I am going skating this very friday with my little one. Let's hope that I don't get hurt!
