A new experience...

Brenly taking a big girl shower...(*side note* I realize that you may get tired of reading about Brenly and Avery "isms" however this is our life! I am using this blog as a journal for our family and so I want to capture all of the little things that make our life so wonderful! I copy our blog at the end of every month and save it a notebook so that years later...we can recall all of the wonderful memories that we have made and always remember that we have been blessed from the very start! Too bad I just started this year...and wouldn't have started if it weren't for Misty buggin the mess out of me to start one! Misty...I am forever grateful for this idea and I love you for buggin!) ANYWAY...this is a very large feat for us! Brenly has ALWAYS been terrified of water being in her face AND seeing as how we start swim lessons next week...I figure we need to really work on this! So we bought a sprinkler...Avery LOVES it and doesn't care at all if water gets all in her face, which has made Brenly face her fear alittle more because you certainly can't let your little sister out do you! So she has gotten a little better about it! So last night I asked if she would like to try taking a shower instead of a bath, she was reluctant at first but realized that we have a seat in our shower that she could stand on and water wouldn't get in her eyes! So she climbs with me and I start washing my hair and she says I want to try...oh my, she is being very adventurous...I give her a washcloth to put over her face and she said, "No, I am going to be a big girl and be brave!" She tilts her head back, scrubs her hair with shampoo and rinses it out, all by herself! YEA! This is huge (May not seem like it, but if some of you that have tried to wash her hair know exactly what I am talking about!) She was SO proud of herself and now says that she LOVES showers! We will see when I ask her if she wants to take another one?!
