Perks

I always knew that having children would be great. They love you unconditionally, they give great hugs, and you can train them to do some pretty neat tricks.

I would like to thank my husband for teaching our children this trick...

A couple months ago Steve taught the kids the proper techniques to a great foot rub and back massage. (He also taught them how to walk on his back, but thats not my bag.) I never really got in on the action, I figured it was daddy time. However, the past week or so Clara has become obsessed with rubbing my feet. Everytime I get out of the shower she comes running up to me and asks me to lay on the bed with my feet hanging off so she can give them good rub. Being the fantastic mother that I am, I let her do her thing.

Afterall, how can I say no to this face?

So I reluctantly lay on the bed with my feet hanging over the side and let her do her magic. She is actually quite good. She has great thumb placement and really works the toes.

Today I had just done my family room floors and sat down. She took off my shoes and asked me to "wait a second." I had a feeling she was going to get her foot lotion, so I grabbed my camera. Sure enough she came down ready to give me a nice foot rub.

As you can see, she is very thorough.

I really like my kids.
