Update on The Hair
Well, as I mentioned recently, Soren suddenly became terrified of having his hair washed. The other night I decided that no matter what, it was going to get done.
So, I braced myself with a steely reserve and we got into the shower together. We played around for a little while and then I handed him a washcloth and told him to hold it tightly over his eyes. And you know what? He did!
I scrubbed his hair and used my handy specialty rinse thingy. No muss, no fuss. And suddenly his locks were clean and fresh again!
After we finished I complimented him on what a great job he had done. He was totally nonplussed, "Yeah, dad does that to me sometimes. Now I don't smell like a chicken."
I did burst out laughing at the chicken observation. But I don't know where he got the idea that he does this with Peter all the time, because I have it from a pretty reliable source that that is not the case. Oh well, no more need for dreadlock instructions.

Ha ha ha! He said he smelled like chicken! That is a classic. Why was he so petrified of washing his hair? Did he get soap in his eyes? I love the smell of my kids with clean hair.
ReplyDeleteThat's hysterical Amy!!! What is it with this age and afraid of getting their hair washed? Mol does the same thing - she puts her face into a towel while I rinse the shampoo out and screams the entire time and then she's so proud after we blow it dry! Amazing!!
