Isn’t she cute in the new outfit Gramma Cheryl made? Just like a sweet little lamb. Aww.
Who’d suspect such a sweet pixie of being able to produce banshee wails? I suppose anyone who has been around when she was getting her hair washed. We only wash her hair every week or two. Sometimes longer if our ears are feeling particularly sensitive and her hair still looks fine. I don’t know what the deal is. We’ve tried giving her lots of warning, and we’ve tried springing it on her. We’ve washed the dollies’ hair, our hair, Gramma’s hair to show her it’s okay. We’ve tried the shower, tub, and sink. (When the weather warms up, we’ll try a hose.) We’ve used tearless shampoo and magic green fairy shampoo. What’s next? Maybe swim goggles? Sedatives? Earplugs (for us)?
She is a cutie pie. I’m not sure what to suggest about the hair washing, though. Maybe goggles and a swimsuit…and the earplugs. 😉
She looks adorable. This worked for Rebecca: sit her in the tub, full of warm water. Have her hold a washcloth or handtowel over her face and ears, and tilt her head back. Use a pitcher to wet her hair with the bath water. (Do this before the actual bath, so the water is clear.) Shampoo and rinse. We did this until Rebecca was pretty old!
She looks great! Love, Aunt Linda

Rebecca sure could shriek, too.
