Kayleigh got her wig today! What an experience! My mom and I took Kayleigh back to see Becca today. The wig was 14 inches long and very full when she first pulled it out. She put it on Kayleigh like that and of course Kayleigh said she wanted to keep it that way. We all talked her out of that, thank goodness!
Becca took me in the back room and showed me how to properly wash and dry the wig. I hope I can keep it looking as nice as it does now! Then she took it out and placed it on a mannequin head. She thinned it out, way out, at this time. Next we went over the the hair salon side, she placed the wig on Kayleigh, and let her creativity take over. Kayleigh has always wanted longer hair, but her hair has never seemed to grow very fast. So she had Becca cut it just below her shoulders, which is about how long it was a month ago before she got her back to school haircut. Kayleigh looked through hairstyle books and chose a style with some layers around the face. Becca cut and thinned and cut and thinned until finally her masterpiece was done. You should have seen the smile on Kayleigh's face! Actually you can in the pictures I've attached.
To end this journal page, I have a Kayleigh analogy for you. As we were coming home from the salon, Kayleigh and I were talking about this experience. Kayleigh says to me, "Mommy, I have a long bumpy road ahead of me. Sometimes I'll be driving over disgusting dead animals in the road, you know when I have to go through disgusting things, and other times the road will be smooth, as smooth as a lake." We just love our bright little girl so so much! Thank you for your continued prayers.
