Time For Another Bath

My daughter wakes up around 5:30 every morning.

Mommy does not.

My husband, on the other hand, is an early riser as well.

He is usually up exercising/doing homework/having coffee, before our sweet girl makes an appearance.

She starts the day with him, eating breakfast and getting ready.

This sometimes means a morning shower.

After which my husband does her hair...

....like he does his hair.

Gelled and slicked back.

It's a look.

Anyway,

now sister thinks that this is how we get ourselves ready to go out.

Yesterday 11:20am-seconds before we are to pick Remy up from school:

Me: Sister, go get ready to go, it's time to get your brother.

Sister: OK Mama.

I go use the facilities and find my shoes (took 5 minutes, tops).

Check in on her only to find that she had opened Daddy's hair gel

 (that he had left on the counter),

taken a HANDFUL,

and liberally spread it through her baby fine hair.

At the time, all I could do was mold it in to something resembling a ponytail.

A wet, greasy, glistening ponytail.

I managed to pick up Remy without having to explain the state of my daughters hair to anyone.

As soon as we got home I promptly put her into the bath.

I washed....

 ...and washed....

 ...and washed some more.

 I swear I washed her hair at least six times.

 Her hair was still a greasy mess.

 I even gave her a second bath/wash later that evening.

 Still no luck.

 Her hair was still a mess when she woke up this morning.

 It's a good thing she is so cute.

 She sure is a handful.

 Time for another bath Miss Scarlet.
