Crossfit Kids and Show me your Heart!

Benjamin is starting Crossfit Kids this month! I swore I would wait to enroll him in anything until he was in kindergarten, but since I am already at the Gym coaching classes, he is gonna just stick around with me to do the Kids program. He is super excited. Jonna and Ben are there quite a bit, and if you asked them they would rather be there than at home. I mean who has a jungle gym (pullup rig), rings, and jumpropes just hanging around inside? Half the time after a class, they make up their own WODs(Workout of the day) and run around. Ben is very close to a pull up and he is very proud of how far he makes it up. I am also impressed with Jonna. She is quite a klutz when it comes to walking and running around. She is always running into things, but you should see her swinging skills on the pull up bar. She is quite graceful. I may have gymanst on my hands. Jonna is at a trying age, and will turn 3 in July. Well, she still thinks she is the boss of everyone and prefers to test her mother and her father in whatever way she can. I am trying out a new technique because the child is also such a people pleaser. I explained to her two nights ago, what it meant to have a big heart. And what it means to show people your heart. I explained it is being kind, sharing, listening, and helping others including her Mom and Dad. So, if she isn't sharing I say, Jonna, "can you show me your heart and how big it is?" She proceeds with "YA!" and will give whatever she has to who she is supposed to be sharing with. I praise her in return of how big her heart is! And she glows! Or if I will ask her to do something, and she doesn't listen right away, I get her attention and ask her to be a big girl and show me her heart...she proceeds to do it. WE are going on the third day of this and I am pretty happy to post that it seems to be helping quite a bit! All is well in the Holee Realm!
