For as long as I can remember, Gabe has not wanted to get his head and face wet. He cried when we washed his hair and if he went swimming, he kept his head out of the water mostly. We've really struggled to help him overcome this fear and assure him that he's ok. Recently Gabe's done much better and has been putting his face in the pool and bath, blowing bubbles, and pouring the rinse water over his own head. He's been curious about taking a shower so his Daddy has been working on it with him and talking about it alot....Tonight, Gabe decided to brave new territory and he asked me if he could take a shower. I warned him that he would get his head wet and that the water would come down like rain and he just said "yeah!" So I turned it on and he climbed in. Hard to believe he's getting so big and that this was his FIRST SHOWER! He even knows how to wash himself and he really liked the shower experience.
