Ryan is going through a phase right now, simply called "I hate water on my head". What was once a fun, relaxing time before bedtime in the bath is now akin to a torture chamber. The shrieking and protesting at getting her hair washed is quite impressive. So, naturally, it's fun to mess with her and push her buttons by asking her randomly throughout the day if she would like her hair washed.... The other night, we were pushing on 48 hours without a wash and I decided to give her the option of shower or bath. She choose shower. The conversation then went like this:
Mom: We're going to wash your hair in the shower.
Ryan: No, mama, no wash hair.
Mom: Yes Ryan, your hair is dirty, we need to wash it.
Ryan: No, mama, hair NOT dirty.
Mom: Yes, Ryan, your hair is dirty.
Ryan: Mama, I said hair NOT dirty. No clean. No need wash.
Mom: Yes, Ryan, your hair is dirty.
Ryan: Mama, NOOO DIRTY!!!!!!
You can imagine how fun that shower was.
A summation of our family dynamic: Ryan holding court being her usual nutty self, sweet little Reese amazed and in adoration of her big sister:
