It was a sunny afternoon, and little Lala sat on the living room rug, playing with her favorite stuffed bunny. She rolled on the floor happily until suddenly, she frowned and scratched her arm. “Hmm… itchy,” she mumbled softly, tugging at her sleeve. She thought it would go away, but soon the itch spread from her arm to her back and even behind her little ears.
Lala stood up, wobbling a bit, and went straight to find Mom, who was busy folding the freshly washed clothes in the bedroom. With her big eyes wide and a pout on her lips, she tugged gently at Mom’s hand. “Mommy,” Lala said in her sweetest but urgent voice, “I feel itchy… Can you help me?”
Mom immediately looked down and noticed the tiny red spots on Lala’s arms. She gently brushed Lala’s hair away from her face and asked, “Where do you feel itchy, my little bunny?” Lala pointed to her arms, her neck, and then wiggled a bit as if the itch was dancing all over her.
“Oh my, poor Lala,” Mom said softly, picking her up into her arms. “Don’t worry. Mommy knows exactly what to do. How about we have a nice, gentle bath together? A special care bath just for you.”
The moment Lala heard the word bath, her eyes lit up. She loved bath time, especially when Mom made it extra fun with bubbles and songs. She clapped her hands happily, forgetting the itch for a moment. “Yes, Mommy! Bath! Bath!” she cheered.
Mom carried her into the bathroom and began filling the tub with warm water. She added a little scoop of soothing oatmeal bath powder—something she always kept for times when Lala’s skin needed extra comfort. The water turned a soft, milky white, and a calming scent filled the air.
“Look, Lala,” Mom said, letting her dip her fingers into the water. “This is a special bath to help your skin feel better. It will chase the itchies away.” Lala giggled, splashing her hand in the warm water.
Mom gently undressed Lala and helped her step into the tub. The warmth surrounded her body like a soft blanket. Lala sighed happily and sat down, wiggling her toes under the water. “Ahhh… feels nice!” she said.
Mom smiled and began to carefully wash her with a soft washcloth. She paid attention to all the little itchy spots, patting them gently instead of rubbing. Lala closed her eyes and leaned back, enjoying every moment. “Mommy takes the best care,” she whispered.
As Mom washed her hair, she hummed Lala’s favorite song. The bathroom filled with cheerful notes, and Lala sang along in her tiny voice, splashing bubbles around. “Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!” she laughed, pointing to the foam floating in the water.
Mom smiled at her joy, then said, “After your bath, we’ll put on some special lotion that makes your skin calm and soft, just like a baby bunny’s fur.” Lala nodded eagerly. “Yes, lotion! I like when Mommy rubs my arms. It feels like tickle-tickle.”
When the bath was done, Mom wrapped Lala in a big, fluffy towel. She looked like a little burrito, with only her nose peeking out. Lala giggled and wiggled inside the towel, pretending she was hiding. “Where’s Lala? Oh, I can’t find her!” Mom teased. Lala popped her head out, shouting, “Here I am!” and both of them burst into laughter.
Back in the bedroom, Mom laid her gently on the bed and opened the jar of soothing lotion. She warmed a little in her hands before spreading it over Lala’s skin with slow, gentle strokes. Lala relaxed completely, closing her eyes as Mom’s hands worked their magic.
“Does that feel better, sweetheart?” Mom asked.
“Mmm, yes,” Lala answered dreamily. “The itchies are going away.”
Mom kissed her forehead and whispered, “That’s because Mommy’s special care always works.”
After the lotion, Mom dressed her in soft cotton pajamas that wouldn’t irritate her skin. Lala sat up and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Mommy. You make everything better.”
Mom hugged her back, smiling warmly. “That’s my job, darling—to take care of you always.”
But Lala wasn’t done with the evening. She had an idea. “Mommy, can we make it more special? Can we have tea party after bath?”
Mom laughed. “A tea party before bedtime? Well, why not? A little warm chamomile tea will make you feel even more cozy.”
So they went to the kitchen, where Mom prepared a tiny pot of chamomile tea. Lala helped by placing her favorite toy cups on the table. Together, they poured tea, clinked cups, and pretended they were hosting a grand royal tea party.
“Lady Lala,” Mom said playfully, raising her cup, “this tea is absolutely delicious.”
“Thank you, Madam Mommy,” Lala replied with a giggle. “It’s a secret recipe!”
They sipped their tea, nibbled on a few soft cookies, and laughed together. Lala forgot all about the itchiness. She was now full of joy, comfort, and love.
After the tea party, Mom carried Lala to her bed. She tucked her under the blanket, kissed her cheek, and whispered a bedtime story about a little bunny who had itchy paws but was healed by a magical bath given by her mommy. Lala listened with sleepy eyes, smiling because she knew she was that little bunny in real life.
As her eyes slowly closed, Lala murmured, “Mommy… best bath ever… thank you…”
Mom gently stroked her hair and replied, “Goodnight, my sweet Lala. Sleep tight, and tomorrow you’ll feel even better.”
Within moments, Lala was fast asleep, her breathing soft and peaceful. The itchiness was gone, replaced by the warmth of love and care. Mom looked at her with pride and whispered to herself, “Every day, she reminds me why being a mom is the greatest gift.”
And in her dreams, Lala floated in a giant bubble bath full of glittery bubbles, laughing and playing, knowing that whenever she needed comfort, Mommy’s special care would always be there.
