Lily has been begging and pleading with me to get a "facial" ever since she read the sign "now offering facials" at the local nail place. The power of reading (and definitely more trouble for Mom and Dad).
We're not sure about how her spa obsession happened months ago. We certainly don't visit many spas, but Lily has turned one of our bathrooms into her "spa." No one is to move any of the "spa accessories" which include cups, soaps, tooth brushes, lotions, hair brushes, curlers, pillows, hand towels, etc.
Finally after weeks of stalling, I took Lily for a "junior facial" as she named it. I struck a deal with the facial lady and she did a modified facial that her daughters love. I felt a little bit ridiculous taking a six year old for a facial, but I have to say it was fabulous. There was warm steam, massage, lotions, exfoliation, rotating brushes, and soothing music. Again, a language experience. :) Lily did not move for 15 minutes. I kept making sure she was breathing. She loved it!
The lady suggested I play soothing music for Lily to help her fall asleep. We didn't even go there or explain what Lily's CIs were. And we skipped the head massage. When it was my turn, Lily watched very carefully so she could learn how to provide this service in her own spa.
This evening she gave Bodie her "signature facial." Good thing he is an easy going kid.
