Hair Issues

Little Tessie has such fine, thin hair. . . to make it worse, it pulls from her head soooo easily. Her bad habit of pulling out every hair do makes me nervous about little bald spots developing because a huge hairball comes out with a every little band. Just to give you an idea, here is a picture of the amount of hair that came out of her head after wearing a masking tape tiara. (which, by the way, are now banned.)

So the other day when Chandler asked how come Tessa had a bald spot I inspected. (apologies for the bad photo)

There truly was a bald spot, but it wasn't from hair being pulled out--which I knew immediately because of the location. No, her hair had been singed. Questioning her gave the answer: She and her cousin had been playing downstairs. Apparently they found my embossing gun which they mistook for a blow dryer (it gets up to about 200 degrees) and he pointed it at her head and also at his head. Nice. Fortunately we are so used to these kinds of events with Tess that it didn't receive much more than a blink of an eye (and I guess a blog post).

Just one more thing from Tess I haven't recorded yet that is often quoted in our family. She is so funny because she thinks she speaks Spanish. One day she reported to me that " 'Ga-ga' is Spanish for "Hola! Give me your phone!" Ha, ha.
