Shower Baby

Tonight Molly took her first shower. Jocie was already in the shower when Ben walked in with Molly and suggested she get in too instead of taking a bath. I was more than a little hesitant - even now Jocelyn can be very iffy with the shower. Sometimes she thinks it's great, then the water hits her the wrong way and she loses her mind. But I thought what the heck, we might as well give it a try. So I opened the shower door and helped Molly step in. She immediately went to where the water was falling, and stood in the downpour for a solid minute. Water cascading right onto her head, the child who cries when I have to wash the shampoo out of her hair was LOVING the shower. They stayed in almost 15 minutes before I finally cut them off (and was met with much whining to be sure). Yet another surprise from one of my children. I should know by now not to be surprised by their unexpected reactions to things, but I am still amazed day in and day out by my daughters. My bath baby has graduated to a shower sweetie.
