Wooly Willy

Matthew's hair is dead. It was dead yesterday, but he wouldn't touch it because he wanted to keep it for as long as possible. It poked him because it's coarse and not really attached anymore, just sitting there. Last night my dad sent me some pictures of Matthew and said that he took the brush adapter on the vacuum and brushed T's hair with it for about ten minutes to get all of the loose hair out. When they were done with that there was only the really blonde hair left. I guess that wasn't enough for them though, because later they went to my dad's shop at his office so they could blow his hair off with the air compressor. Dad rubbed his head as he held the air hose to it to get anything else out. T liked that. Now his hair is extremely thin and bald in some spots, but there is still some left! I don't know why he doesn't just shave it off...maybe he is having fun getting rid of it with vacuums and air. haha When I heard of how they took his loose hair off, I thought of Wooly Willy. You know, that toy that has magnetic shavings you put on a bald head as hair, and then you just shake the toy and the hair falls off. The ease that Matthew can take his hair off of his head is like the toy. Now you see it, now you don't. If only we could put it back with as much ease.

Less Hair,
Still Smiling.
