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*
