Joaquin moving it

Spa ...

This is the problem with being on leave.  I have plenty of time to try out spas!
Today, i tried Butik Spa.   Here goes:

The ambience is good -- dimmed lights, scented oils, flowers.  The music is appropriate for the type of massage offered by the spa.  I asked for a head, back and arm massage because i wasn't in the mood for a foot massage.  The massage was  a tad disappointing as it wasn't any different from a usual swedish massage where the masseuse kneads my shoulder muscles to submission.  (Well, the difference is she didn't use oil so when she did massage areas not covered by the shirt they provided, friction of her hand on my dry skin was painful).  Oh - there was a difference.  She did have some stretching moves.

Overall, Ok service but nothing spectacular.  i'll try the foot massage next time.

Birds and the bees talk

Gabriel was very happy to see the new baby, but was worried --- "Mommy, will you have more babies?  We can't have more babies -- or else, there will be no more space at the table."  (Table = our dining table that currently seats 6 people.)

When  we were talking at the dining table one morning, Gabriel started to talk about how he was born then joaquin then Pablo:

Mommy, at first you and daddy got married then I was in your tummy and the doctor took me out.
Then, you and daddy got married and then Joaquin was in your tummy and the doctor took him out.
... but mommy, you didn't get married when baby Pablo was in your tummy!

A few days later ...

So, Mommy, how do babies get in your tummy?  --- difficult question to answer!
