Yesterday these three poor girls were left in the bathtub after their baths, and as a result, their hair got really matted and disgusting. What is a mom to do? Or rather, what is a slightly obsessive compulsive mom to do? Answer : Spend the better part of an hour shampooing, conditioning, combing out knots, giving a haircut and blow drying their hair. At one point I had to remind myself that getting the blow dryer close to their scalp is okay.. they don’t feel heat or pain.
A few days ago my girls picked out some summer dresses for their barbies from this wonderful etsy seller. And as luck would have it, they arrived today. After preschool, my daughter ripped open the package and marvelled at the new dresses. Then she rushed up to get the dolls and I heard a ‘Mom, they all got their hair beautiful again!’. And she dressed them up and said we needed to take some photos. So we did. 
I hear her upstairs, singing loudly and playing with her dolls. They are really her favourite toys. I don’t regret getting her a barbie for one second!
Never would I have thought that one of my mom duties would be washing and blowdrying doll hair. What mom duties have surprised you?
xoxo, Rashmi
