Piper's hair


I used to have a beautiful baby doll with thick brown hair that covered her head like a real baby. Everyone loved how life-like and adorable this doll was. What they didn't know was that her hair was only sewn in at the top of her head. It wasn't attached anywhere else; the 2-3 inch strands just fell perfectly around the baby's face, and no one ever knew any different.....except me. At first I was a little freaked out by the bald head under the flap of hair that covered it. Actually, I'm still a little freaked out by it, but that's okay. I'm aware I have issues.

Well, I recently discovered that my precious daughter (I love saying "my daughter") has hair very similar to the baby doll I just described. It's hilarious. She's rubbed off most of the hair on the back of her head. Peach-fuzz-looking stuff covers the back of her scalp now except for a nice patch of hair that flows from the top of her head down to her neck. Every time I comb her hair, I can't help but think of that baby doll that used to look so real except for her hair. I had no idea that the baby doll's hair was actually quite "real" looking.
