First in forever haircut, front & back

First in forever haircut, front & back, originally uploaded by zzwhitejd.

It's been AGES since Dory had her hair cut. Oh, several years really? Last time we shaved her head for the 2nd time in order to squelch her Trichotillomania. It worked. Her hair was down to her waist and getting to have split ends... it needed a trim and she was ready for it. I think it turned out great, and she is thrilled. Yeah!

(Sorry for no posts in so long.)

TTM & TMI

Well, it is pretty safe to say, Dory has completed Potty Training. She holds it longer than I thought she could when out and about and does a really good job of letting me know when she has to go. Tonight after we put her to bed (still in a diaper with panties on top) she started yelling that she had to potty. John finally heard her and went upstairs to check and she had removed her panties just in case we didn't get to her in time an she had to use the diaper... LOL. She made it to the potty and she went, apparently a lot.

But, on to the real story here. Dory had all of her hair cut off on Wednesday at the Aveda Institute. She has Toddler Trichotillomania and it has become much worse since Jack has been born. I could write a book on this right now, and to a certain extent, do paln to... but right now I must get to bed. Bottom line it, she's bald and fine while Mommy is a little bit traumatized and ready to punch the lady at the grocery who kept gushing over my sons and how handsome he was, when she was in head to toe PINK. And NO, she was NOT talking about Jack. >:( But, so far, so good. No hair to pull so no pulling. Here's to hope that the cycle will break.
