Sami is driving me insane, volume 2

I should never, ever brag on any of my kids. Remember that I was boasting that Sami finally decided to sort of take a bath? Now I can't get her NEAR water. She likes sitting on my hand or should while I spray her off, but taking a bath on HER OWN?? Absolutely not ( Read more... )

I wouldn't try to force her :) Mine always tend to think its bath time when I am washing the dishes. ;)

Have you tried taking her into the shower with you? I'll be the first to admit that I haven't kept up on your posts as well as I should, so I have no idea if this is a feasible option for you or not.

With Eugene, I've found that he'll sit on my hand in the shower, and doesn't really mind being sprayed. He sort of leans away from the water when it connects with him directly, but if I hold out my free hand, let the water hit it, and direct the misty spray towards him, he allows it without any sign of discomfort.

Like Sami, he will not bathe on his own. Water is for deliberately dropping pellets into apparently.
