Hanging with MOMMIES again

I'm quite sore today after teaching my 2nd fitness class of the week. Mommies in Motion is off with a bang! It's been a great start and I've actually been surprised at how much I've enjoyed teaching these classes.

It's enjoyable hanging out with a group of moms again. Back in the days of baby Kaylin I used to be "playgroup queen" and hung out almost daily with one of my various groups of moms. Somehow between babies #1 and 3 I lost all interest.

It's very different this time - Now I'm almost the eldest mom! There is one a year older than me, one my age and the rest are younger. Most have one baby. I can't believe that I'm actually out of the "new mom" stage as much as is now evident. In my previous play groups it seemed I was always the youngest mom. I also was the shy one. I kept to myself and probably seemed stuck up. Now I'm obviously talking more than anyone else in the group and am putting in that burst of enthusiasm due to my instructor role. I'm sure I don't seem the least bit shy. I'm surprised I've remembered how to be friendly. I do believe they think I am quite friendly. I guess doing what I love to do - teaching - brings out the best of who I am.

Now what to do about the jr high boys recording our exercise sessions with a camera phone?!
