Shower vs Bath

When your child is a baby, there are lots of firsts - first bath, first solid foods, first time they roll over, etc.  Once they get into the preschool years, it seems there aren't as many "firsts". 

We had a first the other night.  Lilly wanted to take a shower.  It was one of those moments where I thought how am I going to wash her if she is in the shower (unless I get all wet). I thought she isn't old enough to take a shower, is she? 

 Then, I realized that she was quite capable of washing herself with a bit of instruction.  So, I proceeded to get the shower running and she got in.  I would give her a step like, "Get your whole body wet." She would do it and say, "what's next, Mom?"  I couldn't believe it, she managed to take a shower by herself - my 4 year old. 

So there you have it - Nov. 6, 2012 - Lilly's first shower. *tear*
