The Stressful Life of an Infant

With the tears that accompany childhood, learning is obviously tough. My discovery the other day made me start to wonder though.

As I was at a park with the kids and some friends, I noticed that Maya had a funny, wiry piece of hair near the front of her head. As I looked closer, to my dismay, I found that it was a gray hair. I plucked it from her head, which didn't even make her flinch, and sought validation of my discovery.

Another mom confirmed that it was indeed a gray hair. I didn't know you could get gray hair before your first birthday, but apparently you can. Maybe a baby's life is harder than I thought.
