I have been contemplating this for a very long time and with a very heart, I decided to do it today. 1 October 2014. I brought Sophie to the barber to get her head clean shaven. My heart literally sank when the razors glided on her head and her hair fell away. When she was born I was adamant that I did not want her to be shaved at full moon because I believed and hoped that her hair will grow. But she's now 17 months+ and her hair is still so scarce. Everyone says that shaving her bald will ensure that her hair will grow nice and thick. Although I was reluctant I finally decided to do it and not delay any further. It'll be worse if she's bald when she's older right? And at least I can say that I've tried even if it turns out to be another old wive's tale.
I am still reeling from the initial shock seeing Sophie bald. I think I need some time to get used to her new look. She looks so different.
On another note I am sad to say that Sophie's picky and slow eating has gotten worse. She dislikes milk and food. The only thing she takes is half boiled egg! My dear Sophie please please please eat so that you may grow strong and healthy. And I need my sanity back too.
