I am a sucker for that Johnson's Baby smell.
Like a comfort food, I know that there are other products out there now, maybe products which claim to be better, wash better, smell better, wash more gently, etc., but I like the smell of original J&J shampoo and soap.
So when the awesome and psychic ladies at Mom Central asked me to write about Johnson's baby products, I squeed. (Squeed: v. Compound word make up of 'squealed' and 'agreed'.)
I remember my own bottle of No More Tears shampoo on the side of the tub in the seventies - it was my bottle alone, because my two older brothers and one pre-teen sister weren't going to be caught using 'baby shampoo'.
My daughter (7) is a fish, so getting her in the tub and covering her with soap has never been a struggle. But my son (3) is more selective, and must be lured into the tub with just the correct assortment of dinosaurs, submarines, and measuring cups.
So when I handed my daughter the new foaming hair and body wash from Johnson & Johnson, she immediately lathered up with the extra thick foam, transforming herself into a kewpie doll with a long white beard, and demanded a mirror.
And my son, watching this with great interest, screamed, "I want some! I want some on my head!!"
(And I evilly thought to myself, 'Woman, you deserve some wine! This review is going to write itself!')
And sure enough, it did.
My three year old son hates to have his hair washed.
He asked for Johnson's foaming shampoo on his head.
He laughed.
There were no tears.
He loved it.
The end.
