The best way to survive Arizona summers is to leave it!
Okay not really!
We surprisingly enjoy the heat especially for this being our first 2 months here but, we have definitely found sanity in pools and splash pads!
She is our little water baby! splash pads, pools and baths are some of her favorites!
Maybe she will be a swimmer someday?!
You could tell from day one she was just itching to run around and now she doesn't stop, not even to eat:) Her little legs keep kicking from her high chair.
So speaking of always moving have you ever watched your sweet little ones explore the world? They are up and down and running around back and forth, climbing, lifting, jumping, playing with one toy to the next? The best exercise ever is to be a kid!
Some of the best advice I got while pregnant was to ALWAYS be on their level, if they are crawling, be on the ground with them, if they are walking get down and play with them always find yourself getting down and spending good quality time with them.
We are always looking for good ways to be active and healthy and lean this is one of the best ways! Your kids will love having your full attention and you will get the workout of your life bending up and down and running around.
At the splash pad I noticed mom's sitting around the edges watching their kids play so I tried something new;) I wore a swimsuit and ran around with Jaycee and splashed and jumped in the water with her! It was one of the BEST times I have had with her and I loved the energy I got from running and jumping and bending up and down. I kinda felt silly running around as a 24 year old.
BUT you should have seen what happened!
Kids started going to their mom's and asking them to come play and in just a matter of minutes there were most ALL mom's and dad's and kids running around and playing together. It was seriously contagious!
I too often catch myself staring at screens or being a sideline mom. If you want to be more attentive to your kids or you want to start being more active, start here! It's as easy as running around playing and doing what they do! Start today I guarantee you will have so much fun being a kid again and you will start a trend for the parents around you, plus most importantly your kiddo's will be beyond thrilled! If you are already good at this just you wait! I have a play time workout coming soon that is just a blast!
Oh my goodness she melt my heart!!!
