i had plans last week to attend the summer solstice in times square yoga madness, a free yoga class held in the middle of times square, but then surprise mystery viruses struck, as they do, and i happily stayed in to spend the day kissing a fevery forehead instead. of course i'd already ordered and rush-shipped a cheap yoga mat to myself through amazon, and of course as i clicked "one-day shipping" at the check out i heard my shoulder devil tell me that now that i'd ordered a yoga mat for the event, i for sure wasn't going to be able to make it.
as is often the case.
i've missed doing yoga. i used to practice in idaho and then got pregnant and put the mat in storage and there's that whole story. i unwrapped that sucker the other night and laid it out to see how many poses i could remember, and while i may be a little rusty, huck is a natural.
p.s. i posted one of these shots to instagram the other night and it was later brought to my attention that the way my flag was hung at the time was incorrect. i have since researched the matter and remedied the situation.
This post had me in hysterics! How cute is that kid?!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh. This is the cutest! Love how Huck is copying all those poses. Adorable. Also, I think the flag looks great. Like you'd actually intentionally try to be disrespectful. Geesh. Some haters just gotta hate sometimes. PS your blog is bomb. By far the best in all the blogging land.
ReplyDeleteThis makes my yoga teacher heart real happy. Also, that kid of yours could not get cuter. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteYou two were already the cutest pair & now it's just over the top after seeing this post!! ;) Love it love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!!! And wonderful!!! My daughter is two and they do kids yoga with them at her daycare. She loves it. Seems so does your son :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable mummy and son photos!!! Love these :)
ReplyDeletethis is great!
ReplyDeletehe's so cute. can't believe you got him to do yoga! :)

You should go to a mummy and me yoga class! I suggested it to my cousin but she was wary of doing poses worshipping the sun god considering that her God says that worshipping anyone other than him is a no no. I was all "um...it's a really good workout?" !!!
ReplyDeletefamily yoga looks like lots of fun.
ReplyDeletemy little friend loves to do kids yoga too. it's so adorable.
Adorable!!
ReplyDeletelove the yoga session with your son. It's lovely. Makes me want to get a tiny yoga mat for my daughter :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! What a great way to spend time with your son!
ReplyDeletethis is lovely! I'd loove to do yoga with my little one too :0
ReplyDeletePeople can be so nit picky...I love yoga, good to instill that love young. It's so healthy.
ReplyDeleteI love yoga. Too bad you didn't get to go to the event. Hanna Marie

may just be the cutest thing, ever.
ReplyDeletethis is pure awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteHaters going to hate and get their panties in knots. It's your personal relationship with your country and you hang that flag how you please!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's "hating" or getting one's "panties in knots" to simply point out that there are specific guidelines for the hanging of the American flag, and that to not hang it within those guidelines is considered disrespectful.
DeleteYeah, I agree with Kate. Surely no one thought she was doing it purposefully, but I think we can all benefit from being educated on these things (I had no idea!).
DeleteOh, you two. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I try to do yoga in my living room, my three-legged Golden Retriever is always right there trying to soak up my attention. Plank? Only if I want a dog in my face. Downward dog? My dog slides down right under, with puppydog eyes begging for some pets. :)

I feel like I am forever a yoga beginner. I'll get all gussied up with yoga gear and go to a class only to be not-so-gently reminded that I am neither flexible nor coordinated. And then I'm sore alllll over, in that glorious way that yoga makes you sore and I'm like, "I'm gonna start doing this regularly. It's going to be my thing." And then I don't go for another 3 months. Please tell me I'm not the only one who breathes a sigh of "hallelujah" whenever we get to go to child's pose?? Also yoga always reminds me that I need a pedicure.
ReplyDeleteDaily yoga hour is a must. Get that kid started on healthy habits early! Also, definitely post more pictures because this is the cutest thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! I can't wait to start doing yoga with Little Miss, it's going to be so much fun!!!

Awww Nat, these shots of you and Huck are so so incredible. Cherish them.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously dying. This is so sweet! I've tried and tried, but I cannot get my own son to pose with me. He just wants to hop on my back and ride me like a momma pony! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe bath mat for Huck? I DIED. That kid's a natural!
ReplyDeleteLove Huck! He's such a cutie. Family yoga time is a great idea. I vote you do it.
ReplyDeleteMy Lili had a mystery virus last week too! Comete with a mystery rash. Even the pediatrician was flummoxed. Thank goodness they're both on the mend now!

DeleteAww, very cute! Love that your son is doing yoga with you!
ReplyDeleteI read what you said about the Flag, it's funny, I was looking at it like that on the wall and thought it was a cool way to hang it...but I guess some people think it's offensive. But I think you should hang your flag any way you want!
Love your posts! You two are the cutest :) My puppy & I do yoga together sometimes.. or really, I do & she just plops on the mat because she thinks it's comfy ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that you share your interests and hobbies with your son!

First of all -- I am a blog fan and Chuck Patton's sister. :)
ReplyDeleteI was in Portland over the weekend and my niece said "I saw a pin of yours on Pinterest from a girl in my ward." I asked who it was (never thinking I'd make the connection) and she said, "Nat the Fat Rat".
Chuck was talking to your brother after the dance festival in Salem. I had no idea you were from their town (well, they just moved to S-wood).
Anyway, all this is to say that I love your blog and it's a small world after all.
This is THE CUTEST post ever! My daughter has just started mimicking things like putting socks on when we do, etc. I love it - so sweet. <3
ReplyDeleteGREAT you are getting back into yoga .. the Baby and you are doing this together is so cute. I'm was going to start doing yoga. Now I'm better and the yoga can join in with me also....... Its also going to help my leg get stronger. I have alot of problems with my leg after I had my baby he is now two. Thank you Nat :O)
