Love

We were all a little nervous about shaving my head but to be honest the lead up to it, the anticipation and the beginning of it falling out was much more stressful. Taking the bull by the horns and just doing it was the best choice for me, then it would be over. The first few strips off and there were a few gasps from the girls but once the shape of my head started to appear they were fascinated so I just relaxed and let them lead the way, at first they wanted to touch my head and take in it's shape, then they each had a turn using the clippers and finally when it was all done I think they spent another 15 minutes stroking, touching and loving my head into acceptance. We were all pleasantly surprised at what a nice shape it was and that even though they'd never seen it like this before they recognised it.  When I looked in the mirror myself they all came with me to watch my reaction, I wasn't sure if I would be a bit emotional but to be honest I was really very much ok. how could I not be with 3 little pairs of hands holding mine.

I did laugh when the little one covered her eyes and peeped out at me through her fingers.

Molly was actually quite serious about having her head shaved herself and if that's what she wants to do then her Mum is happy for her to do so, but we suggested taking a few days to think about that and be sure. What I realise is that they are learning that hair is just hair and it's the person that is important. They really are beautiful children inside and out.

For being a very brave Granny they bought me a bar of chocolate. 

Have a look at the head reveal in the extras, it was a really positive experience the pictures say so much more about our connection than I'll  ever be able to put into words.
