I have a hard time saying goodbye to each phase of this kid's life. I could have easily fallen to my knees and wept the first day I had to leave him at the daycare and don't even get me started on weaning him. So it shouldn't come as surprising that I've had my challenges when it comes to cutting his hair.I love his hair long. But it is quickly proving to be impractical. It was only about two months ago that I took him down the street to the kids' hair salon. I know, I know, what kind of a mother pays for her toddler's hair cuts. Believe me, I went down that other road and it wasn't a success. I wrote about it here. So last week when a woman said your daughter is just lovely I thought maybe it was time to go a bit shorter.
I didn't know if I would like it short. I didn't want to lose any of his baby-ness. But then I looked at him after she was done.
And I fell madly in love with him all over again.
What a rock star! Oh my gosh Kim, I LOVE that photo of him! So cute. You did the right thing. Short hair is in on boys! ;-) I wish Vivian would grow some hair. How sad is that your son had hair longer than hers and he's younger than her too. I feel like I'll never get to put bows in her hair.... sigh!
ReplyDeleteHis eyes just jump right out at you with his nice, new haircut! He is such a handsome guy :)
ReplyDeleteOh he is darling! I had a hard time cutting Grant's hair too. (And by cutting, I mean paying a professional to do it properly... good job mom. Well done.)
ReplyDeleteGreat hair cut. Such a handsome little man!
ReplyDeleteAnd T Rex who is built like a linebacker and wears blue almost exclusively gets "lovely little girl" comments all the time. I'm wondering when I do actually have a little girl if I will get "handsome little boy" comments about her too!
How did he do with the hair cut? Hair cut day is usually a fairly traumatic event around here.
This post, (and the accompanying photo), slays me.
ReplyDeleteDamn- just can't ugly this kid up, can we? He could rock any look. ~rick
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! I love his new do!
ReplyDeleteLove the new cut! He's as cute as ever and looks like such a little man now!!! I feel the same way about Aiden's hair... I don't know when I'll be able to let the hairdresser touch it!
ReplyDeleteKim, He is adorable. His face just lights up. :)

ReplyDeleteI was reluctant to get that first big-boy haircut, too, but as soon as we did, I thought it was adorable, too!
