Last night, as she was pulling back her blankets, getting ready for bed, my kid stopped what she was doing, and stood still for a moment with a somewhat disgruntled expression and a handful of her comforter, and said, "You know, Mom, as much as I hate to admit it, ever since that foot massage my headaches have been a lot better."
We were not talking about foot massages or headaches at the time. It was a little late night personal reflection moment and the truth came out.
She will be going back, again, soon, to get her feet poked with a stick. This time, she goes knowingly, if a bit begrudgingly, and we'll see if she is able to maintain, or even improve upon the improvement she's had. She doesn't like the shoulder massage at the end, so she can skip it or she can ask that they be a little gentler. Hopefully this time she'll relax a bit, as it won't be all new, and even, maybe enjoy the odd moment or two.
