Baby Massage

Audrey and I went along to Baby Massage this morning. It's a six week course organised by a lady in Mums and Tots. Today we were focusing on legs and tummies, and the course builds up week by week.

There were 6 babies there and all of them really loved it. Audrey was totally relaxed afterwards and is now crashed out in her cot. At 8 months old she was the eldest of the lot which makes a nice change as normally she's the 'baby' of groups we attend.

Oonagh, the lady who runs the group gave out these words, which I really liked. They are by Janusz Korczak, who was an amazing man. I'll post more about him another time.

A Voice For the Child

Children are not the people of tomorrow,
but are the people of today

They have a right to be taken seriously,
and to be treated with tenderness and respect.

They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be-
"The unknown person" inside each of them is our hope for the future.
