Bathtime: Round Two, Fight!

Raina, historically, has been anti-bath, and her parents are slackers, so she spends most of her time dirty and smelly. She likes having a variety of shampoos, but doesn't like water on her head ... nothing really matched up on the bath front. And then genius struck! Krystal put Raina in charge of her own bath, and it's been much smoother. We fill the tub, Raina washes her hair and body, dries herself off, brushes her hair, and gets dressed. She's not great at rinsing her hair, but she's making slow improvements in the area. She's excited to be independent, and we're excited that she gets clean.

Lola likes her bath, but she's only had like four, so each time is a novel experience. She's developing a little cradle cap -- it took us forever to banish Raina's -- so we're doing an all-out assault with Lola. She likes having her head coated in baby oil, and she likes the first washing of the hair .... but it takes multiple washings to get all the oil out. She's rather unhappy by the end, but the cradle cap is retreating, so hopefully this process will end soon.
