Happy day

Catherine had great fun today as she did her first marbling using inks. She made some lovely patterns and was so excited that she bounced up and down on the chair. We then had a nice lunch together before she came to the hairdressers with me. She loved watching me have my hair cut, and kept blowing on my fringe pretending to be a hairdryer. Catherine's hair is still very short but it seems to be getting thicker by the day. The hairdresser treated her to some free hair glitter because she was so well behaved and was so interested in the perm rollers and everything the hairdresser was doing. We had one interesting moment when a lady at the salon asked me whether I had got my daughter's hair cut 'that short'. I suppose it is unusual to have a little girl in such a pink dress with such short hair. It put me in a bit of an awkward situation, so all I said was that she lost her hair but that it was growing back. Catherine was with me and she didn't need a big reaction from someone that our little girl was having chemo. I just allowed the lady to put two-and-two together. She was very good about it and told Catherine that she looked like Sinead O'Connor. Tomorrow we plan to take Catherine to an art gallery to see some 'big paintings'. She is very excited because she hasn't seen any big paintings before.
