Washing Hair

Well by me anyway.. His dad is great with it.. I hate to bath Francis when it comes to washing his hair and I get jealous every time I sit and listen to them having so much fun in the bath tub.... The hubby blows in my sons face before he pours a bucket of water on his head.. ANd my son thinks this is just so funny.. Blowing in his face makes him close his eyes and hold his breath.. Maybe my timing is off when I do it... I just know that when it is time to wash the hair I call the hubby....

I really like someone's idea I read a few months back about a watering can...

Both of our daughters are extremely strong willed, not at all followers. Pretty much just because it has been done to someone or something they know and love doesn't mean it's going to be done to them, not if they've decided against it. For both of them we've found that it has always been about the water in their faces so we have them "look to the ceiling". Simply put, with them facing away from us we have them look at the ceiling above the tub, by doing so their faces naturally tilt upwards. I cup one hand around their hairline next to their forehead and with the other pour water over their hair to wet it and then once it's been shampooed rinse it in the same manner. It makes hairwashing a breeze, they know no water will be poured over their faces so they have nothing to fight.

that method doesn't always work. My son is very stubborn, or moody I am not sure which. He is now three and stiil he screams the house down when he has his hair washed. The only part he likes is seeing himself in the mirror with all the bubbles on his head. Believe me I have tried EVERYTHING, I have just learnt to pretty much ignore him now, hopefully he will see that him screaming, doesn't change anything. Have you got any more suggestions!
