This Is Why!

When my brother and I were little my mom would have us play "doctor" on her legs. Little did we know that it felt so good to her - we just thought we got to bust out all of the kitchen utensils and lotion and make a big mess! We used to doctor her up for an hour at a time, I now know why she let us do this for such extended amounts of time...

...I had my kids play "doctor" on my legs the other night and it was like heaven! I didn't realize that lotion was all over the couch cushions until I saw the pictures and then turned around. When I did see the mess, I simply did not care - IT FELT TOO GOOD! They doctored me up for about 45 minutes and I think that we equally loved every minute of it!

So mama, I understand why you allowed us to make a mess and why you didn't care either! I also know why you jumped at the chance for us to play doctor on your legs whenever we asked! I love you! Something so little, but I never forgot.

So cute Jenni! I say this is a moment when all the hard work of being a mom pays off... well that and a whole list of other things.

I am a big fan of getting my hair played with/brushed. About a month ago, Jayla fell in love with this idea of playing with my hair. She gets out every hair brush we own, a few hair clips/bands and goes to town for hours, all while I just lay there in heaven. LOVE IT! If it made a mess, I too would not care.

I'll watch your kids OVER-NIGHT if they'll come over & do this to my legs/especially feet lately!! (Pretty sure it's not nearly as fun to Michael.)
