This is the face of a little girl who has just had a massage with essential oils. A real massage, in a spa, by a massage therapist who understands kids with special needs, because she is mom to one. Look at the love going on here.
What would the world be like if nine year old girls were routinely encouraged to take good care of themselves?
So many people are rooting for you Riley.
May you always feel it. May you always know.
Love.
How cool for her! So fun! (and relaxing)
Not only encouraged, but taught how! Amen.
Bliss.
Awesome
That’s awesome that Riley got to know what relaxation is! Unfortunately, I don’t really know what that is. Never had a massage in my 20 years of life.
That is so cool.
What a great idea. I don’t know when I’ve seen a kid look so relaxed.
don’t take this the wrong way but she looks like Dillon off (original!) Magic Roundabout. So chilled and laid back. Good for her! 🙂
She looks so very relaxed and peaceful!
I love everything about it!
What an incredible thing. I’ve often wondered what that would be like for my Sophie — she is so tight in her muscles from overcompensating — I wish that I knew a masseuse that was as sensitive as yours…
I’ll have what she’s having.
Pure bliss! One of the questions I make sure my girls ask themselves every morning as they’re ‘centering’ for the day is, “What can I do for myself today?” It sometimes takes a while for them to come up with an answer, especially if the day ahead looks busy, but when they know it’s a priority, they find a way to make it happen.
Ahhh, the gifts we give each other along the way. What a terrific mom you are!
