Eric has a major adversion to anything/anyone messing around near his head or face. Haircuts, hair brushing, nose wiping, etc. are a MAJOR trauma! Screaming, crying, snotting, anything to get you away from his head. Well, he usually takes a bath, because the shower was a NO-GO. But the other day, he had a BM in his pants, and got his hands into it and had BM everywhere! (lovely scenario kwim?). I had no choice but to throw him in the shower and hose him down. Guess what? He LOVED it. Water spraying in his face, washed his hair, rinsed, without a complete meltdown. He was actually laughing! Now when we get ready for a bath, he points to the showerhead and wants it on. So we now take a shower like a big guy. So much easier. I don't know why he decided that its okay now, but its alright with me. Now on to the barbershop!

Yeaaahhh! Great news! Jason started taking showers after a bathtub "incident" and we've never looked back. Funny how it all of a sudden just clicks and those lovely little phases are over. Here's to hoping for a good haircut!
