Well I have had good hair days, bad hair days, and no hair days! We have kept the boys entertained through this journey to try to seem "normal". For the most part it is working! :)
Here are some pics starting from the beginning.
My hair long.
Miles cutting my hair!
Owen cutting my hair!
I decided from the beginning that I would cut it short so it wouldn't be so dramatic when I did lose my hair. The boys had a BALL cutting it off. They were giggling the whole time. I did have the "talk" about no cutting hair on sisters, dolls, school classmates, etc. So far so good!
Then I had a friend cut it short and I really like how it turned out, thanks Lacey!
Owen said, " You look like a MAN!" ha ha (oh the honesty, gotta love it! :)
Miles said, " You look cute mom!" Awww
Brian said, "You have a great shaped head! ha
Then one day for lunch we were sitting on the couch and daddy asked Miles to, "Pull on daddy's hair and see if hair falls out!" Well as you can imagine this was great fun for Miles. So he tugs on daddy's hair and nothing. Then Brian says, "Pull on mommies and see if you get any hair!" Well you guessed it mine fell out. Miles thought that was sooo cool and for the rest of the day the boys would walk by and grab a pinch and so for awhile I looked like a spotted leopard.
I know this may sound disturbing but it did not hurt and it was falling out anyway. So no harm done except for belly laughs from the kiddos! I am thankful that we have our humor to make this journey fun for my children, I wouldn't want it any other way! So please no mean comments!
This is my current pic.

Proverbs 17:22 (ESV)
A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Don't ever lose that beautiful joyful spirit! You are such an amazing portrait of God's love and grace! We are praying for you!

Courtney, you are awesome. You could be sitting back feeling sorry for yourself, but instead you are facing this with the most positive outlook. Your boys will get through this better with your good humor too. Take care. *hug*

Courtney, I think it's so amazing how you are trying to keep things as "normal" as possible for your kids and can see the humor in a tough situation. You are amazing! You look beautiful with no hair.
