After a rough start (over half of the school year) she's returned to her regular class.
When we were talking with Carl about how he might be able to help her feel better about coming back, we talked about shaving his head so she wouldn't be the only smooth little noggin in the class.
He thought about it for days.
And he made sure that it would grow back
before he decided that was what he really wanted to do.
It was pretty amazing.
His teacher and a few buddies shaved their heads in class fresh for our little friends return.
Charlie was adamantly opposed.
He was worried that his brother would remain permanently bald.
As Mark was shaving away,
Charlie lamented from the corner that he would be hideous, creepy.
But he isn't.
He started with a mohawk, just for fun.
And now his fresh bald little head.
And the kicker, is that Charlie requested to go bald too.
Bald IS beautiful!
Last night we shaved Charlie's hair off.
I'll try to get a picture of the two together tonight to add here.
It feels nice to know that your kids truly care about others.
That they take a moment to put themselves in others shoes, and try to consider what might help them to feel better.
Our little friend's parents will be participating in the Big Climb in Seattle March 24th. Sam's team is in the top 10 for fundraising- Team Sam I Am, if anyone is able to add to that donation I know all families battling blood cancers would appreciate it.
