Sometimes we leave church for this...

Tyler is the most unflexible person I know. He can't even sit up straight, because his hamstrings are so tight they won't let his back straighten fully while sitting. The only thing he can really do for himself is try to stretch them but they seriously hardly move. Sunday in the middle of sacrament meeting Tyler started complaining that he was dying and couldn't sit--his back was in so much pain. We couldn't leave because I had to be there to say the closing prayer so I told him go walk around for a bit and see if it helped. He came back after about 10 minutes in just as much pain...you should have seen him get up to leave. He looked like he was a 90 year old man and took about 10 steps before he could stand up completely straight. Basically, he looked like a limping hunchback. Anyway, there was no way he was going to be able to sit through 2 more hours of church so we drove home. I planned on going back for Relief Society but ended up doing this instead....


I know this doesn't even look like somebody stretching but this is HARD work for Tyler, it took a little while before he could even get his legs to go up this far. And he couldn't do this by himself, I had to lift them up while he complained about how much it hurt. The chair is not even an inch higher than the step ladder but it was a big achievement for Tyler...poor guy.

lol.. forgive my giggles, but it must be yet another family trait. Chad is the most inflexible person that I have ever met. Too funny!! We need to put these boys in some yoga and stretch them out!:)
