Pain and an unexpected pleasure …

Hello there! Are you new here? You might want to subscribe to the RSS feed to keep up-to-date with my ramblings!

On Monday the Stunt Boy struck again. He fell off a section of the adventure playground at the 5 year old’s school. He hit his ribs on a circular piece of wood and landed on the floor. Winded and clearly in agony I wondered if I should take him to the hospital.

Once home the crying subsided, he ate some chocolate and went off to play on the trampoline. This confirmed that he hadn’t broken anything and I didn’t have to spend 4 hours waiting in A&E whilst he jumped off the furniture.

Later he wanted to watch TV and got snuggled up on the sofa with Lulu.

I sat next to him and he put his feet on my lap. I gave his feet a tickle and he said …

“Hit my feet like Grandpa does”

So I patted his feet gently.

“NO! Harder like Grandpa does and on the bottom” he demanded.

So I slapped the soles of his feet as he relaxed and watched Mister Maker.

When the Queenager was a very collicky baby, the thing I finally found would quieten her very quickly was to lie her on my lap (head at my knees) and massage her feet rather forcefully. Can’t say I ever slapped them but I can definitely see where his comments were coming from!

Hehehee! What a funny thing to relax him.

I used to make my Grandma tickle my feet and scratch my back.
