Okay. I found another form of cardio

Clipping my son's nails. No lie. I think it should really be an olympic event if you ask me. My son is 3 but as strong as a sumo wrestler when he doesn't want to do something. He screams like I'm ripping off limbs and I practically have to sit on him. *scratches head* I don't remember reading about this little parenthood "joy" when I was pregnant ;) Here I thought I was having a rest day...

Have you ever tried doing it when he's asleep? I use to trim the nails (with scissors--not as noisey as clippers) of the little girl that I use to take care of after going through the same thing. Easy as pie. (mmmmmmmm...PIE!)

Ohhh Tete, believe me I would do that if I could. He would wake in an instant, unfortunately. Glad I'm strong ;)

Debbie--I post in a mom's group over at videofitness.com. I distinctly remember that months ago I wrote "Today's workout: changing my son's diaper".

A variation: keeping angry son's feet from kicking INTO the poop that I haven't already wiped up, while changing the diaper.

Another workout: keeping my son from killing himself when he throws a major tantrum.

Another workout: doing anything physical with my son (diapers, clothes, etc.) while a) tired or b) laughing hysterically because sometimes that's all you can do as a mom, in certain moments.

I totally believe what you said about clipping your son's nails being another form of cardio, lol!

Edited to add: hope you didn't clip his nails on one of your upper body strength training days! Hard to fight with a determined 3 year old boy when your arms are fatigued!

I have one for you. My 3 year old son is afraid to have a BM in the toliet. So when he goes in his room and shuts his door, I know what to expect. He still wears pull ups for this reason. Today I said enough, I went and got him and put him on the toliet again for the 100th time. However this time he took off running. After chasing him down, then holding him on the toliet only for him to repeat the whole process again and again. I felt like I'd done a Cathe circuit DVD. By the way, he never went. He is the most stubborn child alive. And to think I wanted 3 kids!
 
Funny...I have the same issue when clipping my dog's toenails. She's an athletic puppy so now Daddy has to clip her nails....or the lady at the groomer but not me....no never again ;-)

LOL Mikkia! We are going through this right now. Potty training is some fun stuff. Ahem.

These poor kids, lol! About a year ago my brother-in-law watched me change my son's diaper. He said "you use a wrestling move on your baby?!"

You don't think I got ripped just from Cathe, did you?
