If anybody needs a good exercise program, boy do I have one for you. At our house bedtime is at 7:30 p.m. for the kiddos. But in order to get Owen to stay awake that long, (he wants to go to bed at like 6:15), you have to hold him and walk around to keep him awake. I wouldn't mind him going to bed this early if he would sleep later than 5:30 a.m., but he won't do that. So we strive for 7:30 so that we can get him up at 6:30 a.m. and get him ready for the day. Anyways here is our new way of keeping him happy and getting a little extra workout at the same time.
It actually works quite well. Nothing beats having a 16lb weight strapped to you during your treadmill workout. The only downside is that your shoulders get a little sore after about 45 minutes, and I get really hot because I can't turn the fan on or it will blow in his face. Babies hate air in their face, you would think that they were suffocating. He absolutely loves this. His little legs go non-stop just like he is walking with me. Also, he tells great stories, he babbles and coos the whole time!!!
