Hair washing

Hi Tracey~
I have always washed Jess's thick,curly hair in the sink with her laying on the counter. Lord knows I've tried to figure out a way to do this in the tub, a way that we can both live with....but, it's still the sink here, with plenty of toweling to cushion the edge. I sing her favorite songs, and it's also one of the few times she gets her Nuk if she wants it. I get her hair good and wet and she sits in the sink with toys while I shampoo, then we rinse and she sits in the sink while I comb, add conditioner, and put it in a couple ponies. luckily she loves playing in water so I leave the faucet on a little for her. My attitude about it greatly affects how it goes too, if I'm in a rush, or not acting like I'm greatly enjoying it she can tell and fights me. We also totally comb it out beforehand, which makes it all easier.

I have heard therer's some kind of cap/visor type thing that will keep the shampoo out of her eyes but I've never seen them in stores, and HIGHLY doubt she'd go for that anyway!
