[QUOTE="slsh, post: 49920, member: 8"] I'm still just tickled over this. thank you has come so far. husband and I talked about it last night. Surprisingly, husband is being very mellow about it. Our first seriously *major* argument was over our children having purple hair, and we didn't even have kids at the time. The "compromise" at that time was that as long as the kid had a decent attitude, good grades, and was otherwise generally appropriate, hair color would be negotiable. So husband wants it tied into something - grades, probably. But it's kinda late to tie it into grades since the quarter is almost over. The other big factor here is once he moves (still waiting on confirmation of that), he will be getting his entire SSI check to do as he pleases for the most part. So I'm sure that if he wants to go buy the colors of the rainbow for his head, he will. It would be nice (I selfishly say) to have a last chance to say "yes" to something thank you really wants to do and that really isn't important in the grand scheme of things. And since there's an adult involved, hopefully it won't be too much of a disaster. I'm going to run it by his therapist and if she's cool with- it, we'll say yes. It's taken me years to convince him that a shaved head is not a good look for him (he has a wicked widow's peak). He has this beautiful chocolate brown hair, very fine, currently "styled" into something resembling a sheep dog. The mommy in me cringes at the thought of black and blue (and you just *know* that subtlety will have nothing to do with- his head, LOL) but... I can live with- it given his stellar progress overall. And there's always a chance that the blue streaks will bring out his sky blue eyes (if the mop of hair would just get out of the way!!!). My parents will just die!! [img]:smile:[/img] It's such a remarkably pleasant change to have something so trivial come up and to have him call *first*. My optimism for thank you's potential continues to balloon and for the first time in a very long time, I'm starting to let my guard down just a bit - maybe there's not another meltdown waiting around the corning. I'll post a picture when/if he's done the deed so you can all admire his "do", LOL! [/QUOTE]
