After much discussion with my husband we decided to have Haley's picture taken without anything to cover her head. I was totally fine with this but was rather surprised that he suggested it. I guess that he is accepting it better as time goes by. I can't wait to see how the pictures turned out.

We are back from the beach. We had a great time. We are now getting ready for the school year.

One day this last spring my daughter (she has alopecia) and her twin brother were in gymnastics and another mother (I think she is a doctor) was talking to her friend and what happened next floored me. In a normal voice (not in hushed tone that she was having the converstion in) ask her friend if my daughter (she pointed at her) was a boy. I never wanted to deck anybody so bad in my life. I was so blown away by the insenitivity that I could not speak.
