Adarius…Funny AND Smart

Insanity. That’s the name of the workout challenge I’m in the middle of. The only thing more insane than this workout…is trying to do it each day with a one and three year old running around me the whole time! D’Lo is getting better at keeping himself occupied during Mommy’s workouts but his brother, well, that’s a different story entirely. Adarius seems to be irritated by the sudden shift of my attention, from it’s normal position – directly on him – to the set of hard-bodied maniacs on the television screen, that mama is killing herself to keep up with.

During the floor work and stretching, when my head is low enough for his stubby-armed reach, he is constantly wrapping them around my neck and/or kissing my face and/or trying to climb up onto my back. During the intensity of the cardio work, I find myself thinking that I’m probably actually working even harder than the professionals on that screen. I do, after-all, have to constantly move around and sometimes hurdle this short, demanding little guy while I try to keep in pace.

Today he figured out a way to really disrupt my routine…such a funny and smart shrimp. I had to crack open the patio door next to me, to get some cooler air into the area. When he thought I wasn’t looking, he would sneak over, pull the door closed, and waddle off in a hurry…Then I would jog over, pull it open again, and get back to work…Then he would sneak in again, looking over his shoulder to see if I was watching him, and close the slider again. This went on and on until, after about the ninth or tenth time through this little routine, I jogged over again to open it up again and…

this Little Bugar didn’t just shut the door…HE LOCKED IT! 

…Like I said, funny and smart, lol!
