Its been a long time. I used to always have regular massages and believed everyone should do the same for general body maintenance.
Then I had 2 kids. Went back to work. Massage time became a distant memory.
So yesterday morning, when Miss J was climbing over me in bed, the knees and elbows digging into my back actually felt kind of nice.
I think its time I made an appointment with my friendly massage therapist :) That's an appropriate way to spend a lunch break right?

Diaper Genie Ballet
I can now add this to the list of things I never thought I'd be doing before I became a parent.
Last night Miss J decided that the diaper Genie was her "sweetie". Her name was Miley. She tied a pink ribbon around it (which I helped with - in hindsight I should have run then!) and carried it around calling her sweetie, hugging her and bringing her to school. She indicated that Miley had hair, a mouth and feet.
After school Miley had ballet class and I was the teacher. The class took place on my bed. Because I didn't want to stand on the bed I thought a class of ballet arm movements would work best. However, Miss J proceeded to inform me that I cannot teach arm movements to Miley as she doesn't have any arms. I'll have to teach feet (silly me!).
Picture it if you will.... all 5'8" of me standing on top of a bed teaching pointed toes and first position to a Diaper Genie. While trying to keep my balance (of which Wii Fit Plus tells me I have very little of!). Seriously.....

Miss J is 4!
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to you!" (as sung by Miss J today).
She's 4 years old and with that apparently comes the ability to turn on light switches by herself (big accomplishment and a very big deal to her for some reason).
Miss J is so excited to be 4. She said, "Remember when I was just a little girl, when I was just 3? Now I'm 4!"
Yesterday we celebrated with a birthday party at "A really big gym" (the gym at the YMCA complete with a giant bouncy castle and other toys) and then Gramma & Papa came for supper and more cake. Today her cousin and Aunt and Uncle came with Happy Meals followed by cupcakes. It doesn't get any better than that!
Her baby sister "gave" her a Belle Polly Pocket with all the accessories (including a carriage and the Beast) for which Miss J gave her many hugs and kisses - it was a big hit!
We are so lucky to have such a wonderful 4 year old in our lives!
