One of the best classes I’ve attended with Ameli has been the Buddha Babies Yoga Class. Despite the name, there’s no spiritual element to the class, and I’ve found that it’s given me invaluable guidance on spending time at home with Ameli actually interacting with her.
One of the hardest things for me so far has been knowing how much stimulation is required, when, and how to do it.
It’s easy to go out every day, be busy and rush around, but I find that between the constant trips out, and lengthy feeds at home, there are many things that end up neglected – not just washing, cleaning and so forth, but ‘fun’ things too, like hobbies, and half done projects.
Now I am able to make dressing and changing time fun too, whether I follow the whole routine, or just one of the songs at a time. It’s good for he and makes me feel that our time is quality, rather than merely quantity.
