Lorelei has been taking showers for almost a year now – she began as soon as she could stand (and remain balanced). Before, she didn’t so much mind if you were to pour a bucket of water over her head, as long as it wasn’t cold of course. Um, not that we ever tried or anything…ahem.

Now, though? The lovely child still insists she loves showers …and “soap” but insists that the actual water not touch her head or face. The problem is that…well, soap gets kind of gummy when no water is added and gets kind of itchy after a while. That, and holding a toddler under running shower water is NOT my ideal shower time, nor is it hers.

We were looking for a solution. No, actually we pretty much gave up and figured we’d have to either coax her under the water or make a few quick splash and pours with cups of water (because it’s really hard to have good aim towards a toddler who has learned to duck and move). Then, Lil Rinser Splashguard sent us their cool little gadget to try out.

I’ll admit, at first I wondered how this thing could possibly compare to our cup method and I wondered if it’d even fit Lorelei’s head right. Would it be too big (she’s only two)? Would it pinch? Would she scream at the sight of it?

Turns out, she thinks it’s quite fashionable…as a hat. And, if she’d quit screaming long enough when the water starts hitting her head, she’d realize that her face is still dry. We’re still working on that one – but this thing definitely works (and makes a pretty snazzy hat, too – you know, in case you were wondering.)
