The Spa Day Trifecta

That's right, Ben completed his first Spa Day Trifecta today. It all began with a little mani/pedi, aka he got his fingernails and toe nails clipped. I declared this first event a success, seeing as it was completed in less than 30 minutes, with minimal squirmage, and sans blood. I tell you, it takes the precision of a surgeon to trim those little suckers! So, once all the little scratch-makers were trimmed, it was on to the hair removal event. No, it was not of the laser or wax method, just the "mommy on the prowl" method. This method can best be explained as mommy scanning B's hands and feet, with the determination of a search and rescue crew, to locate any of mommy's or Sami's (the dog) hairs gone rogue, both of which pose serious threat of another hair tourniquet (see previous post entitled, "The Hair Tourniquet - Love Deeply, Hold Loosely"). Four little culprits and a mess of toe jam later, all unwanted hairs had been successfully removed from the premises of Ben. On to the next and final event of the trifecta, skin/body treatment, including a soak, wrap, and massage. In case I lost you, we're talking about a bath and snuggle in a warm towel, followed by a little infant massage.

Why take on the trifecta in one day? Maybe I just wanted my little man to be clean and groomed. Or maybe I'm secretly craving a good dose of pampering myself, but since that's not in the budget right now, I sought the next best thing, to pamper my little one. Overall, I dare say Ben enjoyed himself, especially since I didn't clip any skin this time during the "mani/pedi." And B definitely took the gold in this trifecta, seeing as I haven't even showered yet today!
