Yesterday was my second belly dancing class. The second class was not nearly as scary as the first. I didn't have any moments of wanting to run out crying. I did get a little uncoordinated on some of the footwork (is that a term?) and was able to laugh it off before getting back on track.
Choreography is something I have little experience with. Outside of the "I'm Big B-I-G, and I'm Bad B-A-D, and I'm Boss B-O-S-S boss" routine in kindergarten cheer leading, I have zero experience. This is the most challenging thing I have done in a good while (not including parenting of course). It is funny how if you ignore your mind and go with your body, you actually can do things you didn't know you could do. I am also learning this in yoga where I spend a couple mornings a week contorting myself into a pretzel and cheering out loud for myself.
The other night I was practicing some belly dance. I put on one of my hip scarves. Finn wanted a "jingle."
Today when I picked Finn up after yoga, the ladies were telling me how funny he is. He wanted to read a book about cars. When they read it to him, he began pointing to the pictures saying, "That's an Audi. That's a BMW..." He referred to the burner on the toy stove as the "Target sign."
Finn is getting good at yoga! He goes with me to playtime yoga (where he plays while I do yoga) and then he goes to a kid driven yoga class with me. He is getting really good at downward facing dog. He has also taken well to Shavasana, which is surprising because it includes lying on the ground focusing on your breathing while relaxing.
Sometimes he tells me he wants to "go to Yoga's house."
