yoga with my seven year old

so, if I say to Isaac, "reach back and find your foot", well, I know better than to say that now, because he will say "Mom, I know where my foot is!"

that's great, but my absolute favorite quote is from three legged down dog, when one leg is extended up and bent, and you tip over a bit for a good stretch. To encourage maximum stretching, I say to Isaac, "look under your right armpit" and then, when I look over at him, he's looking down. So, I repeat this, sweetly, like this: "Isaac, look under your armpit, honey" and he says, so aggravated with me for messing with him "I looked already, and there's nothing there!"
