Forever the Optimist

Despite a strategically placed headband, Abby's hair looked quite patchy when she went to school yesterday. I soon gave up on the headband because it didn't hide anything (it drew attention to it really) and because she chose to wear it like an aerobics teacher in an '80s workout video.

Nearly everyone we passed on our way into school commented on her hair. From far away, you'd hear, "Abby, did you get a haircut?" and then as you got closer, the inevitable, "Oooh, you DID get a haircut!"

By the time I got her settled in her classroom, no fewer than 6 teachers had seen her hair, and she was delighted with the attention.

"Everyone LOVES my haircut, Momma!"

I hope that doesn't mean she'll try it again.
