Some Things Haven't Changed

After Keisha was born, I followed her into the transitional nursery, videotaping the happenings with her during her first minutes. The transitional nurse, Yvetta, took her temperature, blood pressure, and gave her a bath. Keisha did not like getting her hair washed! Not one bit!

More than six years later, that's one thing that hasn't changed. Every time we wash her hair, or even talk about her hair getting washed, she starts moaning. This, even though we take every precaution possible to avoid irritating her eyes.

Maybe by the time she's a teenager, she'll start appreciating that she can wash her hair.
