Tonight my son took a shower by himself. Ok, he needed me there to watch to make sure he was doing things right, but he essentially took a shower by himself. In a way I am SO happy! One less chore for me to do. We're approaching the day when I can just send him to take a shower and continue doing whatever I'm doing. And that is a nice thing. Except....
That also means that I am no longer needed for shower time. And then I won't be needed for help with homework. And then I won't be needed for driving him around to sports and birthday parties. And then he'll be going to college. Aaaahhhh!!!
It's a tiny step, and one I KNOW that he needs to learn, but maybe I'm ok with him wanting me to give him a bath...
