An Update on the State of Rai's Hair

Everyone knows that an infant's hair is a constantly changing thing.
We'd heard that hair can begin blond, fall out, come back brown, fall out again, and return blond once again. Such versatility must also mean extreme unpredictability.
You were born with dark, almost black hair, and lots of it. You soon lost that thick mane and grew back a fluffy, thin blond head of hair. Other than the typical 'sleeping ring' of lost hair, you've kept this blond growth for most of your months of life.
Every day, now, you have more and more hair but as you gain more, it becomes less predictable. Your hair, Rai, is an unmanageable, untamed entity. Some days, we'll brush it just right, but on most days, we're never quite sure what we'll get. So, it was not much of a surprise or an event the other day when you awoke from your afternoon nap with a serious case of 'alfalfa hair'. Of course, Rai, you'll have no idea what I mean by that statement and we'll be lucky if a handful of our readers catch my almost century-old reference, as well.
It was just a passing moment, a short hour or two, the latest episode in the serial that is 'Rai's changing hair'. Even as your hair changes, you'll always remain our little rascal.
