Feeling self conscious

One of the things I worried about when I started losing my hair was that my bald head would freak the kids out. They’re not used to seeing Aunt Mimi with no hair so I tried to be funny and show them my Snapchat filter pics of a bald me before it started falling out… hoping it wouldn’t be too weird. I told myself I would always wear a wig around them so they didn’t get scared or anything.

When I shaved my head, I had her mom show her a pic and Avery said “it doesn’t look bad. Some people have short hair.” She liked all my wigs and today Avery & Hudson wanted me to show them all the options I brought for my head on vacation. They have their favorites and we chose my blonde wig for dinner. Hudson took this picture and I asked if they wanted me to put my hat on, and they both said no. Avery said don’t put anything on, leave your head out.

If I felt self conscious about my head at all before, I don’t anymore. Children are one of our most precious gifts.
