Wigs for Kids, take 2

-

For the second time in her life, Sophia is donating her hair to the Wigs for Kids BC, an organization that provides a free wig for every BC child that needs one.  The first time she donated her hair was in June 2017, towards the end of Grade 1.

Last year, at the start of the pandemic, Sophia's hair went to a little bit below her shoulders.  She had it trimmed once during the pandemic and by July 2021, her hair had gotten quite long.

 I asked her if she would be interested in donating her hair again since her ponytail was longer than 10 inches already (the minimum length for donations).  Sophia readily agreed and today, we went to our hair stylist for the big cut.

I am so proud of you, Sophia.  You are always willing to help and share whatever you can to those in need. Your generosity and kindness is inspiring and admirable.  And, you look great with short hair!  We love you to the moon and back.

 This blog is about our family life - our adventures, our ups and downs, our dreams and aspirations.  It's so easy to forget the details of the everyday and so this blog is for storing and sharing our stories.  So we can look back, remember and laugh about our life together, not just the big events but also the everyday ones that slip from our minds over time.  My hope is to capture the love we have for each other through the stories in this blog.

Start!

We've been enjoying watching the Tokyo Olympics.  It's great to see these top-level athletes compete but it's also really sad to see the stands empty.  When is this pandemic going to end??? Olympic highlights:  Canadian women swim team doing so well (Penny, Maggie Mac Neil, Kayla Sanchez), watching archery for the first time (it's very exciting), Tom Daley knitting while watching the diving competition, the youngsters in skate boarding, Damian Warner in the decathlon, and Andre De Grasse winning medals.  And Toyota had ad during the Tokyo Olympics broadcast: You don't need to be amazing to start but you need to start to be amazing.

Wow!  Grade 6!  I can hardly believe Sophia is in middle school this year.  Her years in the primary program has just flown by.  She's been fortunate to have had wonderful teachers that she liked very much (Ms. Minichiello, Ms. Ottohal, Ms. Moriarty, Ms. Todd, Ms. Takeda) and who gave her such great support and encouragement each year.  Sophia started as a shy girl who was afraid to speak up but by Grade 5, she had come out of her shell, become more self-confident, and let her personality shine through. We've enjoyed watching her grow and support her as best we can.  My daily reminders to her are do your best, be kind, be you.  She makes us proud!
