Really? You want me to massage her intestines?

I got a Mommy and Me yoga video from the library yesterday. And this morning Hazel and I tried the first part of it before it was naptime. It was really good - especially since I am so inflexible and out of shape right now. There were some wonderful moments in the video: when you asked your baby if they wanted to do yoga. And you should only proceed if they wanted to. And then there was the section where they had me massage Hazel's intestines in an "I L (for love) U" pattern. Yeah, ok.

We'll see what the next part of the video holds, if my leg will hold out and my completely inflexible muscles and poor postured back can stand it.

side note... at the school last year when our one sutdent would have bm trouble we would massage his intestines in an i l u pattern. 1- because it promotes bowel movement 2- because that is th way that your intestines are actually formed. down, then to the right and u up. sorry to ruin that for you! :) it's still funny though

Yup! That's what they said on the video...I guess I find it silly to do that on a regular basis when the babe doesn't have any issues. :)
