Wash ritual

This is our beautiful daughter insisting on her washing ritual. The bidet in our bathroom was her wash basin of choice since it was the perfect height. I tried to redirect her to the sink but she yelled something in Amharic at me and turned on the bidet water. I decided not to protest since it was my first day as her mother. It seemed clean and Americans don't use bidets anyway, right?

Here she is washing her hair, vigorously slapping water on her face and scrubbing many times, doing a quick "farmer blow" of the nose, and happily mugging for my camera. This is the basic washing ritual after a quick "ka-ka" on the toilet. I would have been happy with a simple hand washing, but who am I to say?
