Rooting a hard head

I am currently rooting the Beach Baby Ashton Drake doll.

Her head is HARD!  

So, I have to heat up a "beanie" (as I call it) in the microwave, then place it over her head to allow the head to warm up.  

My days are like this:

Heat up beanie.

Place beanie on head.

Root for 5-10 minutes.

Place beanie on head.

Root for 5-10 minutes.

Place beanie on head OR reheat beanie.

Repeat process...over and over and over again.

All.  Day.  Long.

But, I am making progress although a long ways to go yet.

However, there is a sweet little one about to be "born".

I've not told you about her yet  :)
