Avi enjoyed the spa so much we decided to try our hands at massage on our little youngster. Not to our surprise, he LOVED it. A woman in my Mama’s Group coordinated an infant massage class with a local instructor and I volunteered to host the event. Little Avi settled right in for his massage session and basked in the pleasures of his mommy’s touch for a full 2.5 hours. Avi was one of five babies in the group and he outlasted all the others. Many had to stop for feedings, some needed to be cuddled, and others just didn’t like the whole idea of being massaged. But the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and Avi, like his mother and father, just soaked it up! Tummy Time is an important part of infanthood and Avi usually only lasts about 45 seconds on a good day on his tummy. But, this little guy relaxed right into his Tummy Time for a good 20 minutes when it meant a full shoulder, neck, and back massage. It was a wonderful time for Mommy and Avi, and Daddy is learning how to massage his son, too. Ahhh, the joys of being a San Franciscan!
