Oh yikes. I still dread showers. Baths ended long ago due to all the pooping

in the tub and massive quantities of water being deposited outside the tub.

Hair washing was also avoided in the tub.

Now using the shower likes the water as hot as he can get it (water

heater is set low in our house) and when it comes time to wet and wash hair he

he

needs to lukewarm. Washing, well, the water goes off and when we are done

with washing it goes back on. He isn't good with cause and effect but he gets

this one.

Now if we could just get past the shoe/sock issues.

We use a hand held shower head for our kids. They can do it themselves

with supervision of course. And Garry always ends up with a shower

too. HaHa. Kids need this skill for camp.

We all do what works for our kids. It just takes time to figure out

what works best.
