R. took A. to the dentist. That all went well, which is amazing, because she has a spreader and keeping it and where it connects clean is a lot of work. We did good! Team effort.
I took T. to yoga. T. was talking about his teacher in gymnastics wanting him to be able to get up and down from the ground without using his hands. The yoga instructor and R. both repeated that Brazilian crap about how this predicts death (sooooooo many nuances lost there).
I did teach both kids how to get up and down from the floor without using their hands, but going to a half kneel, then sitting down. This is controlled and safer than dropping (which is what T. had been doing) and none of us can get up without using a hand or knee or whatever, so we might as well have good form.
In the meantime, while in this rabbit hole, I finally realized why I have so much trouble doing deep squats. Duh. Should have thought to turn my toes out. Someone could have mentioned this on any of the previous occasions I complained about how much trouble I have with these.
