This morning was the first time I actively practised yoga while leading Zenchai through the poses. Normally I just do my practice around him with him playing nearby or with him using me as a climbing frame. But today was different. I could feel he really wanted to participate in what I was doing.
It was so magical seeing the sun slowly rise in our garden and watching him do the sun salutation. Of course he finished his round with fabulous flair by saying “Good morning sun!” in the cheeriest two-year-old voice imaginable. Reflecting on this morning wells me up with warm fuzzies. I am melting here!!
I asked him if he would like to do yoga in a class one day. His response was “When I am bigger and bigger I will be one of your yoga students. I will drive reeeeaaaallly fast to class in my veeeerrrrry fast car.”
The real irony is that he is my biggest teacher. I am his student. Claude and I both see this more and more each day. He is such a blessing!
