Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 For years Elie would ONLY shower. Now he ONLY bathes - except when he goes to camp! He loves having water sluiced on him with a pitcher (to rinse) but wo't allow me to use the handheld shower to rinse his hair. Weird kid.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 nathan prefers to relax in the tub and play as he would a pool, but doesnt mind the shower either, as long as he has his shower chair someone gave us years ago, he loves it, just sits in there washes his hair etc, singing lol, illl ask him if he is done yet and he goes " not yet " ,lol, i think he feels safer with the chair, more stable. shawna Quote
