As many of you know I am a big believer in the benefits of chiropractic work. Maisy had her fist adjustment at 8 weeks and Sophie had hers at 2 days! Children are so malable that they generally don't need the bone cracking adjustments that we often associate with chiropactic work, gentle massage and applied pressure usually do the trick. I had to include this series of photos because we have found a wonderful chiropractor here in Amsterdam that the girls clearly enjoy.
The chiropactor took his time during our first appointment to win the trust of the girls before he asked them to lie on his table. He made quite an impression because now when they arrive to the appointments mom no longer has to go first.
At 18 months Sophie runs over and climbs up on the adjustment table of her own free will. She lays still for the duration and has to be coaxed off the table. If only I could keep her that calm and still at home. Of course when she isn't on the adjustment table she is a total menace. During our last visit while I was being adjusted she filled up her water cup at the water dispenser and proceeded to dump it all over the floor.
