Mummy and Ethan do Yoga

I have found a great yoga place in Mamaroneck where I've attended prenatal, yoga for labour and Mummy and Me yoga. They also run fortnightly kids yoga classes for 1-4yos. I decided to take Ethan so we could enjoy some time together without Joshua.

He had lots of fun. The class was really innovative and kept him engaged for 45mins.


He even tried the relaxation at the end.

He had so much fun he didn't want to go home. So we went to Starbucks for hot chocolate and cookies.


And I came home to a sleeping baby :-)


Another advantage of the basement

We've decided to take advantage of the unfurnished side of the basement (the furnished sign being Ethan's playroom). After a purchase of some gym equipment from a local expat group member we now have a mini home gym! No charge for visitors!

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day fell today. The annual American tradition occurs on February 2 and features Punxsutawney Phil, a Pennsylvania groundhog whose shadow apparently predicts the length of winter.

Legend has it that if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there'll be six more weeks of winter weather. If he doesn't, there will be an early spring.

And unfortunately he saw his shadow. So six more weeks it is! (This may be one of my favourite ridiculous superstitions!)
