Recently I've gotten back into the routine of exercising first thing in the morning. Elise thinks this is a great game. When I'm doing sit ups, she thinks that means its time to lay across my chest. I like to think of that as lifting an extra 23 pounds, and getting some great giggles from my cutie. I also do some leg exercises, where I go into the corner by the stairs and do some leg lifts. Usually Elise likes to crawl around on the floor and play with toys while I go through the 20 minute process of finishing stretches and exercises. Yesterday she decided it was time for a change. I did my stretches, and she layed on my chest for sit ups. As I was sitting on the floor, stretching my legs in preparation for doing leg lifts, she went over to the corner where I usually do leg lifts, stood up, got all balanced....
and started lifting her leg up.....
She lifted each leg one or two times, and it took me a minute to figure out what she was doing. Then she went over to the stairs for a break. She sat down on the bottom step and leaned back against the gate. I clapped for her, and she clapped for herself! She's so great! We had the same experience this morning, so I grabbed the camera and got some pictures. What a fantastic exercise buddy! Its a wonderful motivator to have her so involved and liking this fun 'play time'!
