How I used to shower Little One

1 - Wheel into shower room, reverse out pulling shower chair.

2 - Get hold of a plastic chair and push it into shower room. Reverse out.

3 - Get a load of towels for myself, and a load of hers for Little One.

4 - Undress and change from lecci chair to shower chair.

5 - Politely request Little One to jump on my lap (ouch, those nails need clipping).

6 - Wheel into shower room and politely request Little One to shift from my lap to the plastic chair.

7 - Remember that I've forgotten her shampoo, and have to reverse back to get it.

Stay Little One - do not move.

8 - Wheel back and realise that all the towels have fallen from the loo and are now on the floor.

9 - Pick up towels and put back on loo (next to the shower).

10 - Shower Little One.

Stay and do not move.

And do not shake yourself either.

11 - Grab towel and throw over very wet Little One.

12 - Grab more towels and put on lap.

13 - Politely request very wet Little One to move from plastic chair onto my lap.

14 - Reverse out.

15 - Remember that I'd forgotten to put more towels on couch.

16 - Couch will dry.

17 - Wet Little One happy to get on couch.

18 - Shift from chair to couch, and dry her off.

19 - Go back in shower to remove plastic chair.

20 - How many more instructions do you need?!!!

What a performance!! rather you than me. Take care.

I knew I had written it somewhere and found it on my long extinct blog - written in 2006!

None of them have been quite as hard work as Aria when being bathed, I thought Tala had been a bit of 'a one' she was a walk in the park compared to Madam Aria!!!!
She's still eyeing the hairdryer suspiciously and peering at me crossly!!!

I knew I had written that down but had forgotten that I used to write a blog - anyhow, Little One was so easy to shower but Da Booga at five years old has never been showered.

Being short coated she has never felt icky or ponged even when having accidents - baby wipes keep her feeling and smelling sweet. Well, sweet enough to share my bed with me and I still love to kiss her tummy!
