RINSE AND REPEAT 

Rinse and repeat . Gosh how many times have I repeated that ?????? The struggles of hair washing . As a mom bath time has been one of my least favorite times .As a young child she would want to stay in the tub for hours. I would sit with her for hours because she loved it so much . Now I feel like I cannot relax for the evening until my daughter has taken a shower. We have been working on her washing her iwn hair for a while. She was having a tough time getting all of the shampoo out of her hair. Her favorite color is purple. One day I was shopping and I picked up Biologe shampoo.. When i went to use it I discovered it was PURPLE.!!! She started to use it and though the color was awesome 

. I told her she would know she was finished with the shampoo once the water went from purple to clear. Getting the shampoo out of the front of her hair waa the toughest part . I would tell her to pretend she had a crown on her head , and to wash the front and sides of her crown . The image of a crown worked for us . It gave her a pattern to follow. . She would start rinsing with the front of her head then do her sides and finally rinse the back. She knows I will check for suds and conduct the smell test , so she does not rush .

She loves the praise for a job well done.She likes the independence, and it nice to have one less thing on my plate .
