Pleasant Coolness

Pleasantly cool

So, today it’s really hot and there’s no hope of finding a body of water nearby. Your child is complaining about the heat - and he's right. Take a mat and sit under a tree. Bring an ice bucket with you. Let your baby lie on his back and ask him to look at the sky, while at the same time focusing on his sensations. Take an ice cube and, barely touching it, run it along your baby's feet, and then along the inside of the wrists and elbows. If your child likes it, continue applying ice to other parts of the body. How do you think he feels when the ice touches his back or stomach? Let your baby run a piece of ice over your feet and you will feel the same pleasant coolness that he does.
