When my now almost ten year old was a toddler, washing her hair was a huge ordeal.  She would scream so loudly every time I tried to rinse the shampoo out of her hair that I was always worried that my neighbors would call the police.  For a while, we had to resort to a rinse-less shampoo that was designed for bed-ridden adults.  I have been fortunate not to have this problem with my middle daughter, but the memories of the experience from the first time around are enough to convince me that the Oopsy Daisy company is onto something with their High Chair Hair Care Rinse Free Shampoo.

Not only does this shampoo allow you to avoid bath tub drama and the difficulties of rinsing without getting shampoo in your little one’s eyes, but it is made from all-natural ingredients, so you also avoid worried about using harsh chemicals on delicate skin.  Recommended from birth and up, the product is naturally-scented with essential oils for a pleasant scent.  It comes in a convenient pump dispenser that uses an air foamer rather than harsh propellants.

Oopsy Daisy products have garnered the favor of celebrity parents such as Scott Baio and Joely Fisher.You can purchase an 8 oz pump for $17 at OopsyDaisybb.com/.  Anyone who has been through the horrors of trying to wash the hair of an unwilling child will know that it is more than worth the price!

Here’s another great product that features the mod owl motif that has been popping up everywhere.  This wall art by Rachel Taylor for Oopsy Daisy is quite attractive.  Measuring 10.5″ by 10.5″ it is a perfect size for a littel one’s bedroom or nursery.

The colors would fit in well with my toddler’s bedding, which makes it very tempting to me.  It would look great with some of the stuffed owls I have seen in boutiques lately.  Several other color schemes are available as well.  You can purchase one for your own child’s room for $48.95 at thesillywagon.com.

One of my biggest regrets is that I have never used a growth chart for either of my daughters. I have all the measurements from their doctor’s check-ups, but I have never kept any formal record of their growth. I guess it isn’t too late to start, but I wish I would have done so earlier.

This growth chart from Oopsy daisy might be what I need to get started. I absolutely love the design and the fact that the chart is made from canvas rather than paper or plastic. The artwork is a reprint of a work by Jenny Kostecki, and the canvas retains the look and detail of the original.

The How Does My Garden Grow? Growth Chart comes with a ribbon for hanging and decorative nails. It is available with or without personalization. It would look great in a child’s bedroom, and would make an impressive gift. More masculine styles are also available.

If you are as impressed with this chart as I am, you can purchase one for $54 at BabyOliverBoutique.com.
