Wenyin took a shower all by herself today! It was one of those times where I gave her a choice as to who was going to give her bath. ( Me and my options…) Auntie Maria, Mummy or she gives herself a bath. She was very reluctant to take a bath, but when she heard that when she could give herself one she was very excited.
I meant she would soap her body while I washed her hair, but fiercely independent wenyin insisted on doing both. And I couldn’t stand in the bathroom either. I could only peep from the corridor. It was quite something to see wenyin doing all the steps. Washing her hair was tough, cos she is still abit scared of the water going into her eyes, but I could see she was really trying hard. She took a small towel to cover her eyes while the other hand held the shower. She couldn’t aim very well and she splashed the whole toilet, door and the towels hung outside the door, and water and some ‘shampoo water’ (we had ran out of shampoo and it was just some water mixed in the shampoo bottle) was getting into her eyes but she persisted. Wet hair, soap and rinse…I was so proud of her.
Soaping the body was relatively easy for her, but she got herself into a tangle with the shower hose a few times… that was funny.
Wenyin is really a darling… Wished I had filmed it, but I guess it would be hard to take videos from the corridor… and it can be something she’d hate to see when she got older.
Chenhui said BALL very well today… repeating it a few times and at appropriate moments. We think she got that… so super good job to chenhui too.
