Happy Mother’s Day

As I reached school, I noticed a lot of mums waiting at the entrance. Now this was a change from last year as that celebration was only class-specific and not for the whole school! At the entrance there was this huge banner put up saying “MOMMY” which felt very welcoming and as I later found out was hand made by the children, each of the five letters being assigned to a different class.

As we entered the school there were more arts and craft on display. A giant heart with the children’s photographs with each child holding a self-written ”I love you” sign, big heart cut-outs using foot prints of each child and gift hampers for all us mums, which included a bouquet of roses and a giant paper hand bag with quite a reasonable price tag I must say!

The big Sale for Mummies!

Considering all these show-stoppers, there was a bit of a jam at the entrance with all of us pulling out our cameras and taking photographs of this ‘art gallery’. The fun had begun and we hadn’t even reached our kids yet!

My son gave a leap of joy and came running into my arms as soon as he saw me. I was on cloud nine already with all the hearts surrounding me and lapped up this extra bit of attention. We were then asked to sit down and relax and wait for the pampering session to begin. Suddenly out came the body lotion bottles and my son obviously well-trained by his teachers took generous amounts in his tiny palms and applied it on my hands and back ready to give me a much needed body rub.

Apparently that wasn’t all as after ten minutes we had to shift tables and the kids were given small hand vibrating massager and were instructed in how to use them to massage our backs!

Massager in motion!

I highly recommend this crash course in massaging given by the competent school teachers as my son was a complete expert in it! He made me lie face on the table and started with my neck going all the way down on my back with this wonderful-wonderful invention. Oh I was in heaven and said a silent thank you to the supervisor of the school who I figured was the mastermind behind all this! After ten minutes when we were asked to move on, I was quite reluctant to leave. That’s when I saw the sign on the door Massage Room…..aaah!
