I take shower!

So Ryan, remember her?  Hates water on her head?  Finally, finally listened to mom and dad last week and realized if you look to the ceiling while getting your hair washed the water doesn't get in your eyes.  Talk about stubborn.  Whoa.  We've been preaching that nifty little trick since her hatred with water on her head began, months ago.  Anyway, imagine my surprise last night as I was finishing up my shower and Ryan came in the bathroom, didn't say a word, but started stripping down to her birthday suit.  She opened the door and said "I shower too".  Well, okay then, hop on in.  She was reluctant at first and I even offered to hold her to keep her head above the mist but no, "I do it myself".  So the little mermaid stood there.  And stood there.  And stood there.  Our 50+ year old house isn't too generous with the hot water so when it got too luke-warmy for me to bear, I jumped ship offering to take my first-born with me.   Again, no "Two more minutes, I showering".  Almost ten minutes later and the girl is still standing in there mesmerized by the falling water, hair totally soaked by the way.  I go back in to check on her and get a whiff of an unpleasant odor, open the shower door and there is my precious child squatting like a linebacker with a grunt on her face.  "Are you trying to go potty?" I ask her...."Close the door mama".  Right.  I'll close the door but your dirty little rear is coming with me. 

Water on the head - success
Poopin' on the potty and not in mom and dad's shower - not so much
