Can’t wait for the day when……

I can’t wait for the day when Ashton will be too old to bring nits home from school.

I have suspected for a few days now that she had them and every time when she would scratch I would ask her to look at her hair and she would say it wasn’t itchy for nits, she was just itching.  I have had a look a few times in her hair but wasnt’ able to see anything and then she would pull away.  She has been in the past, pretty good at telling me her head is itchy so I let it slide.  Well, Saturday over the Easter Break I did her hair and what disgusting little creatures they are.  I have never seen so many, its no wonder she wasn’t carried away in the middle of the night by them.

She then went off to the footy with Brian and my mum and all that afternoon I was scratching, I straighten my hair pretty much every day and if I don’t straighten, I have the hair dryer out.  I really think this is what has kept me safe so far from the little buggers cause I read they don’t like that sort of heat. But I was still itching about 2 hours after they went so I did my hair.  Thankfully I never found anything which was a relief….  All mind over matter.

Just to be sure, I redid her hair on Sunday while she had large Easter Egg in hand, which was still bringing out a few of them still alive and again on Monday which was pretty clean.  I will do it again at the start of next week just to make sure  that we have killed everything.

Well then it was Jetts turn.  That mob of curls must have been hiding something in there but he wouldn’t let me have a look let alone run the nit comb through his hair so I gave him a ultimatum.  It was either the comb, just to be sure or the clippers…..  He took the clipper option and is now a bald nut like his dad.  If only Ashton’s treatment was that easy.

So yes, I am looking forward to the day when Nits will no longer be a problem in our house.  Not quiet sure when that will though.
