While Daddy (Jake) was giving brother Dempsey his bath Sawyer offered to give me a massage. I guess this came so quickly to his mind because he knew Granny and Mommy had seen Laura just a few days ago for just that reason. Or he is just that in tune with the needs of women (at such an early age? yikes!). Either way he offered and I accepted.
He told me I could lay on the floor and use a towel as a pillow so I could still see. I got situated and the therapy began.
He ran his hands over my back with such gentle pressure and he kept asking "does this feel good?" I always replied yes because it did... even if it wasn't really doing anything for my muscles it was making my nerve endings happy and it was bonding time with my Monster.
All the sudden there were these thumps up and down my back. Not hard or anything just different than his massage. He asked if that felt good too. It was fine. Then he spent some time scratching my back with his newly trimmed finger nails. Boo for me. Still, sweet moments with my Big Boy.
When we counted down from 13 (arbitrary, I know) he was done. We discussed the session. He showed me how he did those "thumps". He showed me two fists, one stationary and the other gently hitting it. He said, "I did it just like your doctor does" with such a prideful smile on his face. I knew instantly I was going to have to record this and pass it on to Nathan Cowell, D.C..
I don't know if this simply means Sawyer pays attention (to EVERYTHING) or if we have a future physical therapist of some sort on our hands... time will tell.
For now, I will enjoy these moments and work some lessons in a long the way. Oh, and hopefully make a few professionals happy too. :-)
**Note: I LOVE both my massage therapist and my chiropractor so much!!!!!
