The Hair Book

 This is the book Claire chose to read to me when I visited her classroom this week.

We have lots of Dr. Suess/Bright & Early books, but this was not one I had seen before.  Claire had definitely read it and made a special effort to find it when it was time to D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read) so that she could read it to me.  The kids all scattered to various bookshelves in the room... I could tell Claire was searching and she was one of the last ones to find her book.  I wish I had a picture of her face as she walked over to me with it.  She had what can only be described as a sh*t-eating grin on her face as she walked over with her book in hand.  It is a cute book and as you would expect, all about hair.

I think she thought I would really like it since hair (or no hair) has been quite a topic of conversation in our house over the past several months.  I wonder how many times she has chosen that book to read?  It made me a little sad to think about her reading that book and thinking about her mom with no hair.  There was one part that said something about how you wouldn't want to be like a whale and have no hair.  I'm glad I have hair again for my sake and for Claire's!!
