A few golden strands
Cady has jet black hair. But as I brush it, I've seen a few....maybe 5-8 golden strands growing in various parts of her scalp. Not enough to stand out, but enough for me to notice them again and again, in the same places when I brush her hair at night. It's kind of odd. I don't think it's sun bleached, because they seem to come from the roots down. And the strands are each very, very far apart from each other. It started with one strand on the back of her head last summer. Now, I see around 6 others glimmer in the light of the lamp as I brush her hair. It's so beautiful....like spun gold. But I doubt anyone would notice it at all, unless they were pointed out.
She also just grew a very small, dark brown, beauty mark on her ring finger of her left hand. Scott and I swear it was not there last week. It's the size of a pencil dot. We told her the angels must have kissed her goodnight the other night.
Just curious if anyone else has noticed minor changes in their child's skin or hair since bringing them home. It's kind of fun seeing these things happen. And with darker skin and hair, it must be easier to notice than it was with my blonde/blue eyed son.
