For all those parents who have raised little girls (which is just about everyone) you know all about the "doing of the hairs". When girls begin growing their beautiful head of hairs, then starts the daily struggle to make sure they look pretty. KA hates getting her hair done and although she is not tenderheaded, she barely tolerates getting it brushed and hates to get it washed. It has taken me several months and lots of trial and error to get a system down where I can produce a decent hairstyle. The preparation starts the night before when the day's bows and barrettes are removed, but the sections are left in tact. Then milk and a cereal bar are placed upstairs for easy access. In the morning, hair is second only to diaper changing. We play a CD of personalized songs (courtesy of Mimi & Pop Pop) and KA and I sit on the floor in her room while she eats (and maybe reads a book) and I do hair. Sanford comes in later to clean up the crumbs. It takes about 10 minutes and so far...it works. Any tips you can to share about hair washing are appreciated :-o Wednesday, July 22, 2009
