"First" Haircut


Well, technically, his first haircut was a few weeks ago. The hair over his ears was getting so long and shaggy, hanging into his ears, I thought it would be simple to snip, snip and trim up just that part. So, my first experience with cutting hair was not successful. But we need not discuss that further.

This, his official first haircut, was completed with the assistance of his Nannie (my mom). OK, so maybe it would be more accurate to say that she completed it with my help, as my main contribution was supplying the fruit puffs and holding his head still. But in the end, he wound up with a cute little cut, but still looking very much like a little boy. Yes, I hated to see those little curls go, but the other option was to let it get longer and longer until Luke's daddy (ever protective of the male-ness of his little guy) pulled out the electric clippers and gave Luke a style like his daddy's! And I did save some of those little curls. Besides, as I told my mom, my consolation is that we have a little girl on the way, and her hair can get as long and curly as it likes!
