Daw-zen

The first person to discover Dawson in this meditative pose was my Mom. She was up visiting and the kids and I took her to the pool. Dawson had gotten out of the water to warm up and a bit later, when my Mom went over to join him, she found him sitting on the chaise lounge in this pose, "relaxing" he said. And ohhhmmmm-my goodness, we laughed so hard. He did it a few more times over the next week and I had to snap a photo, cracked me up. He told me he learned how to meditate from the neighbor girl;) It was actually a great opportunity to talk to him about ways we can give God our troubles and worries so He can replace it with His amazing peace. And how we can find ways to relax and de-stress in a way that pleases God. He is such a sweet, tender boy and being with him just makes me feel warm and fuzzy and comfy, like a pair of stretchy yoga pants for the soul.
