We like all Qlders we have been prepping for back to school.
Saturday saw the whole family get hair cuts (except me LOL- funny that) Though my hair is growing back and apparently will continue to do so through this round of chemo.
It's white. It looks salt and pepper (much fancier than grey don't you think?) but the pepper is just the residue that didn't fall out all the new growth is white. I have been reading up and I dont think it's going to change.
It's also a long time after its grown back before you can dye it too because of the chemicals from chemo and honestly I feel so reluctant to even contemplate putting anything else on my skin or in my body - maybe I'll change my mind but if not white it is.
Talia broke away from her normal style of 1 cm off the bottom ( sigh ) to a couple of inches and some layers and as she likes to call them serious bangs :)
and she has decided that she will wear her hair in pigtails for school - Finally something different from a ponytail.
Sofia didn't change her style at all - it's usually much shorter than Talia's and she always has lots of layers in hers. She is also continuing her don't take a photo of me Mumma
EXCEPT for her birthday this year she decided she wanted to get her ears pierced. We put it off until this weekend just gone because there was a whole heap of swimming to be done during the holidays. So after haircuts we headed to have them done and she wanted photos.
She sat so still and I think was actually quite scared - Tals left she couldn't watch. We opted for the both at the same time piercing which was literally two girls lined up with the guns counting to three.
The sound is quite loud and there was a stunned silence once it was over - Then the tears started. EEK so sad . Didn't matter what I had said about that it would hurt.
Here she is all pierced and teary :(
But fast forward to Monday and she was all good - excited to show her new ears to her friends at school and bugging me about when we can go earring shopping. Not for another 8 weeks ;)
There is even talk of Talia having hers done now. We will see.
