simple, but great advice


One of the simplest, but best piece of advice that I got about Josh was from my sister-in-law, Debbie. When Josh was a baby, she told us that we should just rinse his head off in the bathtub by dumping water over his head and not worry about it getting on his face. I am so glad we tried that (despite some initial protest from Josh) because now he is so used to it and I don't have to worry about shielding his eyes with my hands or using a shampoo visor like some people do.

Every time I give Josh a bath, I think of Debbie and her wise words of advice because I probably wouldn't have known to do that with Josh in the bathtub. It's that kind of small, but important detail that only an experienced mother, like Debbie, would  know to pass on, and I'm so grateful that she did! Now, Josh isn't bothered by water on his face and that has paved the way to making showers more enjoyable and feasible for him as well!

  1. Aidan still doesn't like water on his eyes or face that much, but I use my HAND to shield him. My god, the stuff people will try and sell you like special visors or a special cup (saw on the link) for 10 bucks.

    Either just dump the water as you do or use your HAND! LOL!
