However, he does a terrible job of washing his hair - he does it, but I am always having to remind him to do it right. Or sending him back in to do it again.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684328990767140199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-11313648406427335082008-12-17T12:35:00.000-06:002008-12-17T12:35:00.000-06:00I don't remember the hair washing, but Chicken did...I don't remember the hair washing, but Chicken didn't reliably cut his own finger nails until this past year.

Occasionally we will let our 3&5 year olds do showers but we still have to wash them:)karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725215632960591055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-51726985084100678992008-12-17T08:09:00.000-06:002008-12-17T08:09:00.000-06:00Amelia just started taking the occasional shower a...Amelia just started taking the occasional shower and washing her hair on her own this year... and part of that stemmed from her immense fear of me getting soap in her eyes. <BR/><BR/>And I'm sorry the party got so wild... :( I hope a little part of you enjoyed at least part of it.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481403621926486234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-13743050399843911692008-12-17T02:08:00.000-06:002008-12-17T02:08:00.000-06:00Well, my own kid is only 8 months old, so I can't ...Well, my own kid is only 8 months old, so I can't answer from a parent's standpoint, but I distinctly remember being taught to shower/wash hair on my own around 7 years old. I remember being freaked out because I "messed up the steps" on my first solo showering attempt, putting shampoo on my head before wetting my hair down, then standing there for several minutes hollering downstairs to my mom to find out how I should rectify the situation. Seared in my memory forevermore. What a strange thing.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972073087103859606noreply@blogger.com
