Hygiene

I wish there was a way to help Alexis learn better hygiene. Every morning I get her up and right away she goes to the bathroom and gets into the tub. I wash her hair and then her body. I do this everyday that she is at home (she goes to her dad's every other weekend). Yet every day she hollers and cries about how it hurts when I wash her. She says "ow my boobies!" which is inappropriate. I ask her if I am touching that and she says "no". I then ask her what I am cleaning and then she says "ow my (whatever I am cleaning)!" It is so frustrating.

Then a few hours later she has body odor again. In the beginning it wasn't so bad and she has only been potty trained for two years, but she is getting older fast and other people are noticing. I have talked to a mother of an older girl who also has 1p36 and she told me that body odor will always be a problem. sigh
