Bath time has been bittersweet with Hailey. She goes through phases where she loves bath time and then all of the sudden she will decide she doesn't like it anymore and throw a fit when I start filling the tub. Lately she has been o.k. with it, but when it comes time to wash her hair she cringes because she doesn't really like the water in her face. I have tried different things trying to rinse without water in her face, but so far it hasn't worked well since she won't put her head back!!! I have been wanting to try the shampoo rinse cup I saw online at onestepahead.com (see pix above), but I didn't want to pay shipping (I am cheap I know)! This weekend though I was shopping at Walmart and noticed they had one. I purchased it right away! Let me say it was one of the best purchases I have ever made! Its keeps the water from running in her face and she now loves rinsing her hair. She even puts her head back without a fight. Actually, she loves it so much she has me rinse her hair 5-6 times in a row!
Also, after I wash her up with her pouf she loves to take her washcloth and rinse the soap off. Its so cute! She takes the washcloth, dips in the water and rubs herself down. What is funny is that she does it over and over on her face, but if I wash her face - watch out!!!
I also decided to buy some play-doh while at Walmart. I have never tried play-doh with Hailey because everything goes in her mouth, but I decided it was time. Let me say, it was a hit! She sat at the table for a good 20 minutes playing with it. We used cookie cutters and made "twinkle, minkle" (this is what Hailey calls stars because she associates stars with the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star").
Lastly, my camera is on its way ... I wanted a point and shoot, I didn't need all the bells and whistles, but I figure if I was going to spend my money I might as well get a good one. I talked tomy dad who is a photographer and this is what we ended up ordering ...
I can't wait for it to arrive!!!

Oh yes, the love/hate relationship with baths. We have completely switched over to showers and they seem to like it much better. And the love/hate relationship with play dough is all mine. I love how it keeps them busy and hate how their favorite thing to do is rip it up into a million little pieces!

that is so great about the bath!! Randie has always pretty much liked her bath so we have been lucky.. Glad the play dough was a hit as well!!and YAY @ your new camera.. cant wait to see your new pics!
WOW! I never knew they made such a thing (hair rinser). I am going to have to hunt one of those down for Savannah! Cute pictures as always. Our little ones are growing up so fast!
I am saved as well by that hair-rinse cup thingy. Rex HATES the bath and will run naked around the house in order to avoid being clean. But he doesn't mind getting his hair washed-- that cup is the key! It's the getting in part that is the worst for him.
