Hair

by annia316

Ok, so Mati has wanted pink streaks in her hair for the last couple of months. I pretend that I will think about it, and normally something more pressing (or interesting) comes up. Today I actually took time to think about it. Am I a crazy mom for actually entertaining the thought of pink hair on a seven year old? Perhaps. But I also know that it is only hair. It will grow and change color for the rest of her life. My moms philosophy was always that it was only hair and from a very young age it was my choice what I wanted to do with it. I think I am going to follow in her footsteps knowing that there are much worse things in this world than a seven year old with pink hair, and who knows, maybe if she makes enough of her own choices I will begin to see that she truly is growing up, and we as parents almost know what we are doing!
