First Haircut insights

So my little baby became a big boy on Saturday. We took the plunge and cut those gorgeous curly blong locks. Mostly because he was getting a Macguyver-sized mullet. It was time....


Armed with my camera and a labelled plastic baggie to catch the remainder of his baby curls, I was ready. I started out with mixed emotions.... but I never cried, and surprisingly neither did he. Though after you go into the hospital and have all kinds of horrible things done to you, getting a hair cut is a piece of cake. And he handled it like a pro.


When we finally came out of the salon, I realized that he wasn't a baby anymore. We had cut the baby right off of him. He was officially a big boy, and he had the haircut to prove it.

I think I stared at it for about 3 hours before I really got used to it. It is such a change to watch your baby grow before your very eyes. But, unlike most mothers, I actually was excited about him growing up. This is the beginining of a new chapter in his life, a more exciting chapter. And I am so glad to be a part of it. Geez, I can't believe I am getting all worked up about a haircut, it's not a peace-treaty for the middle east or anything.

Does he like it? You be the judge!
