That is the one thing that bothers me most of all... when people make comments that leave you thinking really that seems something you should say out loud?? I actually have a friend who told me one day how she saw this women with really short hair and thought how great i would look with hair like that and went on to say too bad I couldn't just grow my hair out for the summer.. Almost like i have control of my hair falling out and growing back. I wanted to say if I could grow my hair back that easy don't ya think I would keep if for all the seasons. I also had my mother tell me I thought myself bald.. I guess some people don't think.

Some people just don't think! I had a patron (I'm a librarian - and I try to educate people that every bald chick they see doesn't necessarily have cancer) who said "the hair is the crowning glory of a woman" - umm, how would that make me feel better?! Good luck to you guys, and have fun petting the fuzzy head! :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone, it helps to know I am not alone.
I too believe all the comments are mostly with good intentions, people just dont think it out before they open their mouths.
Jessica, wow your Mom wishes-but ya right!
Norm-hahaha, I keep trying that too!
And I am enjoying snuggling his "baby hair", it feels just like when he was a baby! But I also miss his cute sweet "kissing spots", they are a part of him and what makes him special. He actually misses them and we talk about when he"grows his spots back", pretty cool!I just decided to make a facebook status reminding/educating those we know not to unintentionally send Troy the message that he is "better with hair"-cause guess what-it's not permanent! I cant protect him from everything, but maybe I can bubble wrap him a smidge-lol
