I’ve been trying to train Eva to use the shower to rinse the conditioner out of her hair at the end of her bath, but she’s still afraid of the water streaming near her face. I can get her to slowly back up into the spray long enough to rinse the back of her head, but not the top or sides. It’s a work in progress.
A couple of nights ago I put Amanda and Bethany in the bathtub as it was filling up and then stepped out to quickly throw Bethany’s diaper in the diaper pail. Three seconds was all it took before I heard wailing and Eva ran into the doorway, hands clutched to her mouth with a look of horror as she yelled, “The shower! The shower!”
I ran back to find Amanda and Bethany clinging to the side of the tub, shrieking in terror as warm water sprayed down their backs. Amanda had pulled the lever that turned on the spray - and apparently, her worst nightmare. As I rushed to shut it off she grabbed my arm and Bethany stretched out her hands as if to implore, “Save me!” It was like a little toddler house of horrors. They calmed down after I wiped their faces with a dry towel and assured them they were fine, but I think it’s safe to say Amanda won’t be going near that lever again anytime soon.
