Hair Today - Gone Tomorrow!

Well, the day after our post about no hair loss, Tim's hair began coming out. It was a little late, but 2 weeks to the day of his last dose of chemo, it happened. So this afternoon, Stacie took the clippers to his head and we had a mini "shave your head" party. Mark, our 5 year old, did not want to "be bald" as he said, so he opted out of it; but Matthew and Michael were brave and willing participants. Below are a few pictures from the event. Aren't they handsome!

I can't pass up the opportunity to share this one: Tonight when I was putting the kids to bed, I told Michael how proud I was of him for shaving his head for his dad. I told him that it was a very nice thing to do to show his dad how much he loved him and was concerened for him. Michael said he was glad to do it because now he doesn't have to comb his hair for a while!

Now, Michael and Mark share a room, so I looked at Mark and told him that it was okay that he didn't participate and that there were other ways he could show his dad that he loved him. However, I was curious as to why he didn't want to join in with the boys and shave his head, too. So, I asked him why he didn't participate. He looked at me with a very sad and somber expression and said, "Mom, I didn't want to go on the shiny side." Too funny, Mark!
