We Bobbed!!!

That's right...I finally did it and am so glad!!! These are some pictures of today. I took "befores"of Caroline's curls in the back and then of her ponytail. Then, of course, pictures at the beauty shop and the "afters". I got a little carried away with my picture taking, hence the slide show.

All of you know how cautious I am, so I would only let JuJu (Julie) cut just a little to begin with this morning (which at the time I thought was pretty drastic). After Caroline woke up from her nap, she and I were back up at Julie's to cut it some more. It is way too cute:)

Now, an update for all of you who knew about Caroline's little itching episodes on her palms and soles of her feet over the weekend. I took her to Dr. E on Tuesday and he diagnosed her with Dyshidrotic Eczema. It is something she will always have and is hereditary (my sister Heather has it and has made it through life just fine though). Dr. E prescribed Caroline a cream/gel to keep on her hands and feet for 7 days and then anytime I notice "breakouts". After reading up on DE a little more, I have found out that stress, coffee drinking, and excessive sweating are likely causes for recurrence. I remember the doctors telling Heather not to wear rubber shoes because of the sweating thing. So...I think I am going to let Caroline wear the Crocs she has all along for short periods because she LOVES them so much, but when she outgrows them we will have to make sure she wears socks with her shoes or shoes where her feet can "breathe".

One more thing, the spot you see on Caroline's back in some of the pictures is not a bruise (I have had several folks ask about it). She has had it ever since birth and it is known as a Mongolian Spot.

Hope you all have a great weekend and God Bless!
