Activity

Today was filled with much activity. Simon is always active, moving and bouncing and running and laughing or squealing. He has more teeth coming in finally...though it means he's uncomfortable and sometimes has unpleasant moments.

Our local fitness center had their grand opening, and we went in support. It's been open since the first of February, and I've been a consistent member...attending classes and using the equipment. I helped demonstrate (with others) some elements of the kickboxing class to those who were interested or didn't know what it was like. Physical fitness has become a huge element of health and sanity for me lately. One person joked, "You are skinny and you chase after him (Simon) all day, you don't need to be working out here!" I inwardly cringed, because I don't believe it's about size, but about my ability to climb the stairs or chase after my son or push the mower without feeling like I'm about to pass out. That gives me more self confidence than a particular size that we are supposed to try for. Plus, there's enough against our human bodies in this world - if this is one area that I can try and prolong and elevate my quality of life to see my son grow up and to grow old with L, then I'm going to do it.

We got rain the last few days. And sun and warmth yesterday and today. Which makes the grass grow tall. So I mowed today while Simon napped. L dug up some stuff and took care of a few things on his to-do list. And we took a long walk around town later, to get Simon out in the fresh air. It's amazing how much good it does him to get outside each day.

It was a good, full day. What activity did you see or participate in this weekend?
