One warm afternoon, Lala sat in the living room scratching her arms and legs. She had been playing outside in the garden all morning, running through grass and chasing butterflies. At first, it was fun, but now her skin felt itchy and uncomfortable.
“Mom…” Lala called softly, her voice a little sad. Mom came over and knelt beside her. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
“My skin feels itchy,” Lala replied, showing the faint red marks on her arms. “Can you help me?”
Mom smiled gently. “Of course. Let’s give you a nice bath and take special care of you.”
In the bathroom, Mom filled the tub with warm water, adding a few drops of soothing herbal oil. The scent of chamomile and lavender filled the air, making Lala feel calmer already. Mom helped her into the bath, gently rinsing away the dust and grass.
She used a soft sponge to wash Lala’s skin, taking extra care to be gentle where it was itchy. “We’ll make sure you feel fresh and comfortable again,” Mom said with a reassuring smile. Lala closed her eyes, enjoying the warm water and Mom’s careful touch.
After rinsing, Mom wrapped Lala in a fluffy towel and patted her dry. She applied a light lotion to keep her skin soft, then dressed her in clean, comfy clothes.
“How do you feel now?” Mom asked.
Lala beamed. “So much better! Thank you for taking care of me.”
Mom kissed her forehead. “That’s what I’m here for.”
Lala snuggled close, feeling not just clean, but loved. The itchiness was gone, replaced by warmth, comfort, and the joy of being cared for.
