Shaved Head

There was a lice breakout at Kallsen and Parker's school this past Monday. One of the other children in Kallsen's class apparently came to school with lice. Kallsen got infected. It wasn't bad on Kallsen but his hair is so fine that after shampooing and using the gel, the comb that comes with the lice kit didn't pull the nits out. And after battling for sometime trying to pick the few nits out Kallsen had, I decided that it would be easier to shave his head. And I did.

I will post a picture to go with this post later today.

I want to state for the record that it wasn't my son that brought the lice into the school. These things happen. I'm just glad both boys didn't need to get their head shaved.


Kallsen didn't want me to take his picture so I had to wait until he fell asleep tonight and this is the best I could get. You can notice that in the day and a half since I shaved his head, a decent amount of hair has grown back.

As you can see in this picture taken in May, 2006, that Kallsen does have beautiful hair.

My guess is with beauty of the internet and this blog that he'll have one of those memories that is placed but not actually be remembered.
