We've been to the hospital today for another dose of Vincristine chemotherapy. It is the first time Catherine has ventured out in public without her wig, and today she decided to wear one of the beautiful hats that we were sent a while back as a gift; a beige one with a blue flower. She looked lovely. She was measured today, and it is the first time in ages that she has grown taller and put on a sensible amount of weight.
She is now very conscious that she has 'short hair' as she can feel how soft it is on her head. She is also very proud of her hair. I think she looks beautiful with her short hair, but as it was school holidays today, we had the usual nasty comment from a young boy. Unlike previously, this boy intended to cause a reaction, as he came up to Catherine and said she looked like a boy. Catherine was quite cross and was pleased when his mum came and told him off for being rude.
As it is school holidays today, we took Catherine for a train ride, bought doughnuts and a new book for Catherine: Goldilocks and the three bears. She is now almost reading the whole book! It is nice and straightforward and she is so pleased to almost be able to read the whole book all the way through. My girl is growing up.

Boys and girls are just different. No two ways about that. Woutertjie likes not having any hair because now he doesn't have to wash it.
Hoping her hair grows an inch a minute!
