Yoga with Daddy
Max often joins Tim during his yoga routines. They also make regular morning trips to the weight room (Max: "way roo") where he mimics weight lifting. Tim says that the ritual is, upon arrival in the weight room, they open the windows. Next, Tim takes down the weights from the treadmill for Max. Amongst other things like playing with the balancing ball and having Daddy lift him up to watch the cars going by, Max lifts the treadmill weights over his head while counting his reps ("two, three, two, three").
Washing Dishes
Max didn't really like the suds so he didn't do much washing. Lots of pouring, stacking, and moving utensils in and out of the water.
We have a child safety gate that blocks the kitchen from the rest of the apartment. Unfortunately, Max has decided that he doesn't like to be stuck on the opposite side of the gate from Mommy, but he has not quite reached the age that he can help with much of the cooking. I included him in making applesauce yesterday (he put the cut apples into a pot and he only took bites out of three slices) but that's all at this point.
