Curt's mom had him doing ABC yoga from about the age of 3 years old. There was a yoga pose for each letter of the alphabet and each mimicked an action of an animal. He would often do the yoga in the morning before pre-school if we could corral his attention long enough to get through the DVD though it's more occasional these days. Perhaps he and mom will pick it up more with all the time they get together over the summer.

My favorite thing to do with Curtis before the chaos of school is to take him to an open field and drop a soccer ball. It's been evident for years how great it feels to Curtis to just run. Plus, it doesn't hurt for him to get some of that crazy energy out of his system before the morning announcements. Running is as soothing to Curtis as drawing roads or reading a book. Other Curtis wind down activities include stapling squares of toilet paper together and creating short books out of them and he loves playing "math man" on the computer. A Pac-Man style game where you have to solve math problems before you can get the pellet and eat the ghosts.
