So, last night and this morning went even better than I could have predicted, and we haven’t even gotten to our actual Valentine’s Day celebration yet!
I told Ceecee after dinner that I had gotten the ebook about relaxation massages and that I wanted to give her one. I did everything just like it said. I warmed up towels, warmed up the massage oil, lit candles, and put on a cd of relaxation music. I told her to just lie down and I would take care of everything.
Later, after she went to sleep, I spread the confetti all over the loft and placed the piece of paper with the “Official Notice” on the floor as though it had been slid under the door from the outside. I knew she would find it in the morning and she did. The idea was that she would get up, find the confetti everywhere and feel happy. Then, she would pick up the notice and get scared that it was something bad, but quickly realize what it REALLY was.
That was exactly how it happened, and she loved it, but she playfully gave me a hard time for scaring her. It really did look like a court paper at first glance.
Later this afternoon, we are walking over to the theater to see Beauty and the Beast, and then I’m cooking at home tonight.
