Our Kids

Okay so I am embarrassed to admit it but Lela still has cradle crap.  I know, I know, bad mommy but let me defend myself.  When the girls were almost one we went in to the pediatrician and she said just to leave the cradle crap because as they started to eat more food it would just get worse from them smashing food on their heads etc.  The girls did not have any hair forever, like until they were about two.  I just ignored the cc and went on my business.  Well then Lela got a strong aversion to having her hair washed.   We have tried lots of things but it is still very traumatic for her.  Recently we got a special visor and we managed to wash her hair without any water hitting her face but she still did not like it and was very upset.

Anyway, the cradle crap is still in Lela’s hair.  But now when it comes out it takes chunks of her hair with it.  How horrible am I?  Now that she finally has hair, it is attached to the cc and comes out.  Thank goodness she has enough hair to cover up any little bald spots.

Oh and I have learned my lesson, if the new baby has cc I will scrub it out BEFORE she gets any hair:)  I think because the girls were so small for so long I thought scrubbing their heads would be horribly mean.  We are slowly getting all of Lela’s cc out by brushing and blow drying once a week, but it is definitely harder when they have hair!  HA!
