So, we received the finally clips and wig tape for my daughter's wig. Now, we are just waiting until tomorrow to get her wig styled. She is so excited, and so am I. It took a lot to decide on the wig route, and now that it's here we are barely able to sit still. I think this route is going to be great, because regardless of what happens, she can feel confident in her wig, until she is ready to take it off. I hope that that day comes where she is not intimidated by others, or her self. I think that the way you see yourself sometimes can be the biggest critic. I worry about her continuing this through middle school, or high school, and while I read the middle school and high school message boards, i realize that yes it will be difficult, but no, it's not un-do-able. I think that all those girls and boys are going to turn out being such wonderful people and able to have even more wonderful people in their life. I think that the friends my daughter will make and the relationships she will have will be stronger, and in the the end she will be more happy because these people have embraced her with open arms. Right now, I know the hurdles aren't over, such as the first slumber party, the first time other kids poke fun, the first time her wig comes off, or the first boyfriend. But hey, a lot of people have problems like these, some worse. I just pray that we raise our daughters up to be confident, intelligent, respectful, and of course, like they already are, beautiful women. I know she's only almost 5, I must just be a worrier. But I think all mothers worry about how their children will turn out, with or without alopecia.
