Picked up my wig today. For fake hair, it's not bad and pretty closely resembles my natural hair. I'm not sure if that means it's a good wig or if I have bad hair. ;-)
Anyway, as most of you know, the wig is primarily for the kiddos. Trying to keep things as close to normal as possible. They know Mommy is going to lose her hair and they understand the whole wig thing. Mattie initially requested a pink wig (which I'll still do) but she then told me I needed to get a "yellow blonde" wig so I would look like her. Though I tried one on (in the same style) and took a picture for her, I opted for the brunette version. When I showed the wig to the kids this afternoon Gabriel smiled and said "It looks like your hair, Mommy!" Mattie said she liked it and then she started looking all around. A little confused, she asked where the blonde one was. I told her I didn't get it and she burst into tears. "You were supposed to be blonde like me!" Bless her heart. Of all the things I considered having to comfort the kids over, this certainly was not on my radar.
Back later.
Love to all,
Andee
