Since Mommy lost her hair, it's been hard for Alyssa. "It's embarrassing mom!", she would say. So especially for her I would always make sure I had a hat or wig on whenever we went out in public together. (Honestly, when I was completely bald, I wanted something on too! One, it was COLD in the winter and two...it's just nice to be a girl with her hair done.) When we were at home, she was fine with mommy without a wig or hat.
So, yesterday we were busy getting in the car to go to the store. About half way down the hill to the store I remembered my hat. "Oops! I forgot my hat!", I said. I was about to turn around when I heard a soft voice from behind me say, "That's ok mommy." It was Alyssa. "Really?" I asked. "Yes", she said, "It's ok." So on we went to the store! Mommy was out with her new hair do. It looks like a short little boys cut.
We went to Stehekin today in the boat and rode bikes to Rainbow Fall. And yes, we stopped by the bakery! It was beautiful and a wonderful family time.
On the way up the lake the kids told me my hair looks like the same color as the burnt trees from the forest fire that went through a couple of years ago. Ya gotta love kids honesty! I think Bryce's comment was "Hey mommy, your hair looks like that hill." I laughed. "Thanks honey!" Of course Brett let me know he was pretty right on.
Stehekin is one of our favorite places to play as a family. We have many good memories and many more to make.
Looking up!
