Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Today was the first day of our playgroup babysitting co-op. I was one of two lucky moms who got two hours all to herself while knowing her baby was having lots of fun with friends (and without having to pay a babysitter!) So what did I do? I went to see my acupuncturist. I was long overdue for a treatment, and I feel so much relief. I'm not sure what I'm relieved of, but I'm relieved nevertheless.

I had always thought acupuncture was hokey, weird, and just another ploy to get people to spend money on nothing. I was wrong, at least for me. I give a lot of credit to acupuncture for KK being with us, and that itself is enough. But it really does something for me. I wish I could describe what, but I can't. All I can say is that the effects are noticeable (it must do something when AJ begs me to go) and they last a while. If I had to choose between a massage and acupuncture, acupuncture would win hands down (although a massage is always good, too!) Next time I'm not waiting as long to go.

Earlier today we went to our Friday music class and then worked at the club for an hour. It's kind of silly to work for only an hour, but there was no school today and so the club was jammed with kids. We are short-staffed on a normal day - so I went in to help with the peak hour. KK loves to be there, and she especially enjoyed turning off the TV while the big kids were playing with the V-Smile. She loves getting a reaction out of those bigger boys. Too bad some of them are mean and she got pushed down once. It can be hard not to pull a "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" move when a much bigger, bratty kid is pushing your little baby down. I refrain, of course. Besides, KK is tough - she just gets up and goes right back to turning the TV off again. That's my girl.

Let's see...what else is KK up to....Daddy was working on a new animal sound with her at dinner tonight. What does a seal say? "AAAAARRR! AAAAARRR! AAAAAARR!" (in an obnoxious, barky way of course). She thought Daddy was hilarious, and she was pretty funny herself trying to imitate him. Goofy kids! :)
