I know I have written about this, but I am going to do it again; and I don’t care if you have already read it.
Niko’s at that age in his life where he wants to do things on his own and I allow him to do it, unless he can get hurt. I don’t hover as much as I used to with him. I simply show him how to do something and then he does it.
Ever since we moved, Niko has been taking showers in our bathroom; I think he likes it because I give him one of the shower heads to play with and I just let him have fun. When I get in with him to help him with the shampoo, he gets a kick out of shampooing me. Just within the past few days, I have showed him how to dry off. He does like half his body; his hair doesn’t seem to want to get dry, and then he throws the towel on the bathroom floor and runs to see Nina.
I find it absolutely amazing seeing him do things on his own, but I miss the times when he was younger.
