Warning: The following blog entry contains much talk of puke, though not super graphically. Those of you who this might bother don't actually read my blog, last I checked, but in case you've been sneaking since you know I can't grep through the access logs to tell, you've been warned. So there.So, starting way back on... Tuesday? 2am-ish? Zara's

try holding her hand (or more importantly let her grab on to yours) when you wash her hair. She might be a bit too bright for this trick to work (especially given her parents) but you never know.

Hair washing

[anonymous]

(yes, I occasionally read your journal...)

Miss F has gone through two periods of hair + water = dogs screaming in a three mile radius... During the first period, we worked together to wash her hair. I was the chair and Christine (no idea if you have a code name for her) was the stylist. Miss F suddenly wanted her hair cleaned regularly... This passed, as all good things do and the howling dogs returned. Christine has recently turned herself into both chair and stylist and so long as the water never gets closer than miss F's eye brows, all is good with the world.

Sorry to hear about the family plague, it was nice though that... as with everything... you taught her about sharing. :-)

poor jojo! and wesley. and zara. and coda. and washing machine. and blankie. and bed. no idea what it was? that evil funk thats going around perhaps.

M's little boy G hated having his hair washed circa z's age but we found out it was an ears being phobia more than hair. much like puppies. maybe little boys are made with puppy dog tails. does this mean z needs a candy bribe? i know not; i am not a puke cleaning mommy machine.

Z's aversion to head cleansing

You might find it interesting to know that W's sister had a completely unwarranted fear of head washing too. It litterally took the 2 of us to complete the petrifying ordeal. The poor baby, to this day, is not completely comfortable with "big" water.
