[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251387, member: 1233"] Man does this bring up memories of Wiz, and current skirmishes with thank you. Wiz was always the kid you couldn't get IN the water (he would spread his arms and legs out like the cat does when we try to bathe him, LOL!) and then we couldn't get him OUT. When he was little I did to him what my mom did to me - I would lick his arm. He HATED that, so eventually it became part of the discipline. I would mildly ask if he wanted to stop that or get a Lickin' . I was followed around the grocery store several times until the little old lady saw me actually lick his forearm rather than beat him! After about age 9 I would make him wear swim trunks if he didn't bathe to my staisfaction and I would scrub him. His little brother heard us to remind him to use soap, scrub his pits, wash his feet one day. After that thank you LIVED for the times he could get away from us and run to the bathroom and yell USE SOAP or whatever at Wiz. thank you now REALLY regrets that. If Wiz is around when thank you is bathing here or an on overnight to Grandmas, Wiz returns the favor. Esp the part about feet. thank you's feet will gas us out of the house some days. When Wiz was at the psychiatric hospital for 4 months they had about 4 boys who went through "Bath Bootcamp" 2 male orderlies would stand there outside the shower and verbally talk them through the shower routine and then through toothbrushing. And in an hour they would do it all over again. They did this every hour for 4 hours (with an exra hour added for any refusal) for 3 days. By the end Wiz decided it was a lot less problem to bathe than to deal with that. He is pretty good about it now. thank you has all the sensory issues with bathing. He gets his own shampoo and conditioner. I actually MIX the shampoo and conditioner because thank you has really thick wavy hair and a tender scalp. So it HURTS sometimes to shampoo his hair with-o the conditioner. And the 2 in 1 products don't work as well. He either uses Suave men's body wash (not a strong scent) or Walmart Lavendar Baby Wash on his body. He simply can't touch a soap bar at ALL. For a LONG time if he got any of the bodywash on his hand rather than the bath puff he would FREAK. Not rage, FREAK. he won't use ANYTHING mint. He also abhors bubblegum. There is some Shreck ogre booger toothpaste he will use when I can find it. Jessie has her own toothpaste because the green slimy Shrek toothpaste is really gross looking. heck, at 8 we had to start thank you on antiperspirant or he was intolerable after school. He never fussed about that though. I think one of thank you's biggest problems is the eczema. I can't make him bathe every day or we end up with me having to bath him using cetaphil body wash (he will NOT touch the stuff with his hand and it doesn't work well on a puff on sore skin) and then just rinse it off FAST. Anyway, you all have my sympathy. Oh, on hte Tooth Tunes? My husband begged for one, so he got the Queen We Will rock you one! I had to laugh each time I saw it, esp after I caught thank you sneaking into our bathroom to use it!!! (husband was grossed out. When thank you wants to brush he is happy using EVERY toothbrush he can get his paws on!) [/QUOTE]
