Freestylin' Friday!

I'm goin' on a surfin' safari on the couch!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Friday to ya!

Well, ya know, I love music.  I love all kinds of music, but today, I have the Beach Boys playing. 

The Beach Boys just make me feel like I'm at the beach.  There's just something about that music, you know, Friends?  It makes me wanna dance.  It makes me wanna surf!

So I set up a surfin' safari for myself on the living room couch.  Don't worry.  I don't get my bike anywheres near the surfin' safari.  If I've learned anything in 2016, it's that couches and bicycles do NOT mix!  And that goes double for couch surfin' safaris and bikes.

All's I do when I'm surfin' on the couch is that I jump up on the cushions and pretend I'm catchin' some righteous waves. 

Safety first on Freestylin' Friday Surfin' Safaris.  That's what!

Hey.  I'll be seein' ya tomorrow.  I love ya lots!  Muah!

Rhythmic Ribbons!

Rainbow Rhythmic Ribbons are really the best Rhythmic Ribbons!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Thursday to you!

Well, ya know, I'm quite an athlete.  I do the air hockey, I do the dancing.  I do the Kung Fu. 

One of my favorite sports is dancing with Rhythmic Ribbons.  It's a really great sport, too, Big People.  Ya get elements of dance and Kung Fu and gymnastics, all rolled into one! 

Plus, it's really pretty to watch, on accounta the ribbons are so colorful and they look so beautiful, flying around in the air!

It's really important to find a sport that ya love, Big People!  Ya gotta keep moving!  If ya rest, ya rust!

Hey, I'll see ya tomorrow, Friends!  I love ya lots!  Muah!

Takin' My Air Hockey Game Pro!

I am a stay-at-home, go-out, forward, defenseman, goalie!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Wednesday!

Well, ya know, I am a hockey fan, and I also like Bubble Hockey and Air Hockey.  In fact, I like Air Hockey so much that I have decided that I am going to go pro and join the National Local Little Kid Air Hockey League.

What I really love about the lively sport of air hockey is that I get to be all the players on the ice.  I'm the forward.  I'm the defenseman.  I'm at once Center and Winger and Firehouse.  (Hahaha!  Old-fashioned music joke there, for ya!  Honk if ya get it!)

I am the goal-tender.

Also, there is no ice.

Not that I don't love ice, Friends. but air hockey tables are really nice to be around, because there's always a nice breeze when ya play.

There aren't a lot of spectators, but I betchya that'll all change when I go pro.  I bet the air hockey arenas are filled to the rafters, every pro game!

I love ya lots, Big People!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!

When Your Dog Joins Your Win, Loser, Draw! Team

Lemme guess, Rozz.  Is it... a Greenie?

Hiya, Big People! 

Well, ya know, I've gone and gotten myself all signed up for a Win, Loser, Draw! tournament, and I have a team of me and my pals Buddy, Puppy, Abigail, Walter Sweet, Sabretooth, and my dog and best pal Rozzie. 

For the most part, we team well together.  When one of us is drawin', the rest of us can pretty much guess what's bein' drawn.  It's pretty great!

Thing is, whenever it's Rozzie's turn to draw, it doesn't matter what it says to draw for us to guess, she always draws a Greenie, because that's her favorite treat.  And we all guess "Greenie!" because we know that if it's Rozzie that's up to draw, that's what she's drawing!

It complicates matters of the scoreboard, though, Friends, because she's supposedta draw what's on the card, and then we guess what she's drawin'.  That's how the game works.

But she reads the card and draws what she wants, which is a Greenie, and then we guess that she's drawin' a Greenie, but we don't get any points. It's a crock, the rules of Win, Loser, Draw!

We're all havin' a great time, though.  It's fun for us, whether we win or lose!

I love ya lots, Friends!  I've gotta go see what Rozzie's drawing now, in case it's something other than a Greenie!  Muah!

It's Monday All Over Again, Isn't It?

I turned around and saw Monday standin' there!  Eeps!

Hiya, Big People!  Well, it's Monday again, by golly. 

I just don't know what to say, Big People.  Monday's a heck of a way to end a weekend, especially because last night had a very distinct Saturday Night feel for me.

In fact, I was so disappointed to find out today's Monday that I was about to make a righteously indignant speech about it, when I turned around and saw Monday standing right behind me.

Talk about awkward!

Anyways, I understand for a lot of you, it isn't a typical Monday, on accounta Columbus Day.  If you get the day off today, good for you!  I do not.  Today is a typical Monday for this kid.

I love ya lots, Big People, and I'll see ya tomorrow, but for now, I've got work to do!

Muah!

I Don't Wanna, But I Will!

With a great amount of toys comes a great responsibility.

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Sunday to you!

So!  How's it going? 

Well, ya know, I have fought a lifelong battle with not wantin' to clean up my toys.  After fightin' with me about it for a long time, Mommy and Daddy decided they weren't gonna fight with me anymore, and they let me be as messy as I wanna be.

It sure was fun for a while, draggin' my toys all out and just leavin' 'em, but then something curious happened.  The floor in my play room disappeared.  I didn't even have any more room to play with my toys.

So we had a marathon cleanin' session in my playroom.  It still isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than it was.  I can find the floor to play with my toys, and slowly but surely, I'm findin' all my toys and findin' homes within the storages in my play room for every toy.

I really like bein' able to play on the floor in my play room, Friends, and the only way I can sustain this level of playability is to put away my toys after I'm finished playin' with 'em. 

At the end of play, I don't wanna put my toys away, because that isn't as much fun as playin', but it keeps things nice.  So pickin' up and puttin' away, I will do.

It's all about bein' responsible, Friends, and I'm really tryin'!  I love ya lots, and I'll be seein' ya tomorrow!  Muah!

Zoga: Focus on Milk Carton Pose!

Milk Carton Pose helps your bones feel strong!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Saturday to you! 

Well, ya know, I am a Zoga master, and today I'd like to talk to you about Milk Carton Pose, which is a pose where you stand up straight, straight, straight.  Evenly distribute your weight on the triad of your foot, so your heel and the ball of your foot are both feeling the same amount of pressure from the floor.   Raise your arms over your head, and press the palms of your hands together.  It's best if ya can keep your shoulders away from your ears, and ya can do that by relaxing your shoulders and letting your scapulae slide down into place on your back.

Milk Carton Pose is a great Zoga pose to do if you need to feel taller.  It also helps your bones feel strong.

I call it Milk Carton Pose because with your hands up over your head like that, ya kinda look like a milk carton.  How about that?!  Isn't that clever?


Anyways, as is the case with all Zoga poses, ya wanna make sure you keep breathing.  I cannot emphasize enough the importance of breathing while you do any Zoga pose. Or while you're going about your daily activities.  Breathing is kind of essential.

Now you know all about Milk Carton Pose, and you can start practicing it whenever you want.  You'll feel taller, stronger, and you will have never breathed so well in all your life.

I love ya lots, Friends!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!
