Bathtime Blues

Bathtime was a noisy time in our house once a week.
Hair wash night.
My daughter hated having her hair washed.
She screamed whether the water was in her eyes or not.

We tried a few different approaches in the early toddler days.
However, we realised the quickest and kindest (on everyone else's ears!)
way for all concerned was to simply wash her hair.

I would sing myself a little song, to keep myself calm,
and she would scream.
After about three months she realised her hair was washed,
scream or no scream.

And peace reigned.
