<p>I could not even imagine doing this as a child. Hard enough as an adult. But kudos to you for raising such a confident little girl. If you haven't been told recently, you're doing a great job!</p>

<p>She actually has a pretty good attitude about it. To her it is playing dress up like Halloween or something. I think it is more getting into character. She would really surprise me if she wanted to wear the wig on a regular basis, but if she does I will get use to it. I am a little nervous about everyone's reaction when she walks in with a wig. I am having the same feelings I had when we came in after Christmas break with no hair. How will everyone react. So far the kids have been great to…</p>

<p>Thank you. I am definitely going to have find someone to help with the eyelashes. I have never worn them myself and have no idea if I could put them on a squirmy 6 year old.</p>

<p>Good luck on her recital!!</p>
<p>To me it sounds like she's doing ok with her alopecia, but I can understand her wanting to look like everyone else. I wish that too (more often than I should) I think a wig and eyelashes and eyebrows are harmless. As a parent you just need to remind her that she is beautiful either way, so that her decision (now or later) about wigs etc. doesn't have to do with her not feeling good enough.</p>

Hey Dena,<br />
First of all...your baby is ADORABLE!! Tell her good luck with her recital.<br />
Sounds like baby girl is handling her situation pretty well...kids are very resilient.<br />
There are businesses that apply lashes/eyebrows, and are pretty good. I would suggest finding a professional in your community. I'm SURE there is help out there. Also, since she is required to have makeup on, I'm sure the artist can draw her some brows on!<br />
Good luck!!
