shaved head and ears in the water

Remember my sweet boy’s beautiful blond hair?

It looks good from this side…IMG_2844

but…not so much from this side…IMG_2845

He is pulling his hair outIMG_2846

It went from bad to really bad…IMG_2847

So he got a buzz cut (insert mama tears here)IMG_2851

I did not want to do it, but I couldn’t bear for him to pull his hair out anymore.

It is a soothing thing that he does when he goes to sleep. He has always tugged at it, but in the last week or so he started gradually pulling it out until half of the hair on his head was gone. You may remember that Maya had a hair twirling-knot issue that she has really only recently outgrown. I can only hope that Gray outgrows his a little quicker. The good thing is that it’s a bit more socially acceptable for him to sport the shaved head.

Speaking of sissy. She is doing great with swim lessons!

Yay! Ears in the water. Ms. Lindsey had told us yesterday that she was having trouble because she wouldn’t put her ears in the water. She told me she was going to do it today and she did!

Only two more days of lessons. She has done so well and come so far from that very first day and I couldn’t be more proud of her!
