So extremely cute! Sheesh. I love the one of her in the yard with Appa.
1. bath: putting a picture or wall decal on the ceiling above the tub might work - it does with older kids. You have them look up at the picture and that holds their attention for long enough to get a rinse. Charlie doesn't understand pointing so we're getting nowhere with this one, and since I can't get water in his ears now that he has tubes, we just use a washcloth to rinse his head. We only use a tiny bit of baby wash on him, though, and many nights we just use water, so rinsing isn't a big deal just yet.
2. pacifier: my SIL stuck a pin in the paci nipple to deflate it, which made it less fun for the kids so they decided it bores them. Charlie seems to be oral-stim baby so we're not even really trying yet (when we take the binky away, he often bites his lip, blows saliva bubbles, grinds his teeth, bites us, etc). He definitely wants it more when he has a tooth coming through, though - maybe giving SK a teething toy/chewy thing would reduce her focus on the binky.
