Tuesday Kanga Time!
These lovely ladies and their babies, toddlers and preschooler's joined us today to get our Kanga on! We had 3 sleeping bubs, 2 toddlers who decided part way through they would prefer to hop down and one Mumma with an older toddler who played independently while we sweated and puffed our way through the workout. Plus 2 preschoolers/school kids who danced alongside us with their own 'bubbas'.
At Kanga we can meet all our kids needs as required, at any stage we are at. The flexibility is what we all need especially at the moment, while keeping our bodies fit, our mind calm and some routine going.

Flying around in our search for Unicorns! Thanks for a fun session today @kangawollongong
🦘Happy Kangaversary to Kristy and Beth and your gorgeous little Joeys, you have all brought so much to our little community.
It has been a tricky 12 months and you guys have been so supportive every step of the way, so thank you very much 💕
All babies are so different. Some sleep well from day one, others are still waking multiple times overnight years down the track. Some are happy to play on the floor, others demand to be held all the time. And of course they like to change the game just when you think you have things sorted.
I try to remember to keep it gentle and supporting for all parents when chatting about our kids, we never know the struggles another is going through.

Why following your instincts is even more challenging if your baby has high end needs

Honouring your instincts and mothering the way that feels right for you is extremely challenging in today’s society that values styles of parenting that are very ‘textbook’ and focus heavily …💕 I love that she talks about ‘carrying’ as in in arms and in carriers and how they are both amazing!NEW EPISODE: THE BENEFITS OF CARRYING BABIES AND CHILDREN (WITH ZOE WOODMAN)
Carrying babies and children is biologically normal.
In this episode, I’m joined by sling consultant Zoe Woodman, who combined her passion for slings with her psychology background to educate parents on the many benefits of carrying their babies and children.
Zoe explains how neuroscientific research supports carrying as beneficial for both parent and child for bonding and breastfeeding (due to the release of powerful love hormone, oxytocin) and supports both mental health, and infant brain development.

Kanga online this morning and Miss 4 asked to go up instead of dancing with me today 😍 off I went to grab my toddler Ankalia carrier, super comfy with knee to knee coverage for her. I was a bit dead from squats on especially when Miss 6 requested a harder squat move 😅 don’t mind the face, she was using my hair as a microphone singing along and screaming “Yay!” In my ear.

Have you been watching the Olympics?
We don’t follow much sport in our house so being able to show the kids a large range in one go has been great. The kids favourites are gymnastics, sailing and basketball so far. Personally I am excitedly waiting for the Karate to start next week.
Heidi is inspired by the gymnasts to jump on the trampoline. 😆
We've been watching and are keeping a tally of Australia's medals won 😊
Same here, though nick loved fencing, and Eddie’s favourite is the “Beenex”, aka BMX. I loved the skateboarding too.
Kangatraining Kids fun!
We have enjoyed a jungle adventure and a dance party this week with Rhiannon, it has really helped us get through the week. The girls get to be creative and active, doing something special together.
With these ‘bitesize’ classes we can pop them in as a school break too, without falling behind for the day.
Thank you to Kangatraining Wollongong for hosting us!
If you would like to give it a go with you 1.5-5yr old get in touch 💕
Anyone else have a little one who just has to stop to collect things? She even found a tree fork stick for her toy koala 🐨
I would love to see how you have been enjoying the sunshine the last couple of days 🌞
Miss nearly 2 always has to stop for flowers and sticks
We have a bird nesting in our Lemonade tree. Kids been checking each day
These were today's collections. 🙂
If Heidi had the opportunity, she would have also collected all the ducks and dogs we saw on our walk. 😁
