Nitpicking Part Two

After shampooing and combing through Amelia's hair and coming up empty handed, I turned to Charlie and did the lice shampoo treatment on him. Immediately upon commencing the comb out I realized which child actually had the lice problem. Omg. And Charlie, just so you know, has WAY more hair than Amelia and needed a haircut weeks ago. 

After going through his head with the nit comb and having a decidedly bad case of the heebie heebies, I took my lice shampoo over to Mandy's where we spent two hours in her bathroom after the kids went to bed, lice shampooing each other and combing through our hair like chimpanzees. (And fortunately coming up empty handed.)

This morning, after lecturing the kids on the entire way to the bus stop that they didn't need to tell the entire world they had lice, Amelia immediately turned to Rebecca while they were in line for the bus, put her hands up like claws, and announced loudly, "Don't stand too close to me! My lice might get you!"

This afternoon brings a continuation of ridiculous amounts of laundry, more spraying, more vacuuming and more de-lousing. Fun, fun times in the ROBINSON household!
