While Elizabeth was playing in the hospital playroom she found a play curling iron. After picking it up she reached to grab her hair a few times to 'curl' it, but only came up with a few strands. She then simply put it down and moved on. She knows about her hair falling out, but she hasn't seen herself in a mirror this week. I wonder how she will react to see that it is practically all gone.
As I watched her grasp for her hair that is no longer there, I got really emotional. I had to fight back the tears since I really did not want Elizabeth to become upset about her hair because of me. I know she is still adorable without hair, it is just a big and fast change, and a very visual reminder that Elizabeth is fighting cancer.
It seems more real now. Weird. But you are right, she is so stinking cute with or without hair! Love her and love you!
