The 'Mama Dance'

I can easily sneak a decent workout into my day by doing what Grant has dubbed the "Mama dance"! lol. I started doing this little dance/aerobic routine when Madi was only a few months old as an attempt to make her smile and laugh. Oh, she laughed alright! In fact she enjoyed it so much I think she grew to expect a performance on a daily basis.

So I dance to amuse my daughter. It's actually become more of a workout routine than a dance. I'll shadowbox, do aerobic kicks and punches. Jumping jacks, and monkey sounds and actions are quite common as well. I must look utterly ridiculous to most people. But my husband and daughter roll with laughter when I do my dance for them!

Madi has even begun to join in...bouncing up and down and clapping. I can even get her to stop crying or fussing with the mama dance:) I really must get it on video and post it. Look for The Mama Dance. coming soon.....LOL
