Ben's First Hair Cut

Monday, February 8, 2010

My baby got his first hair cut today! (That is, from a professional. Mom used to buzz him as a baby, mean mommy!) This is a very controversial topic. Many have expressed the opinion that we should never cut his curls. I say they'll grow back! This kid is curly down to the bone! We cut off 2-3 inches and he still has springs!

Before.

During (haha my distraction backfired - I gave him the camera so he'd let her buzz but then he dropped it and I had to take it away!) Otherwise he was perfectly content to get a cut.

Emma in a Dora trance while getting her bob refreshed (this was her 3rd or 4th haircut, she's a pro).

After. Happy now. (See lollipop.)

And the back - see - he still has lots of curl! My baby has sideburns....ahhh!

Aww little baby curls (tear).

Okay so maybe this whole first haircut thing is more about Mom than kid. He had a completely blissful time watching Diego, looking at the bobos (globos, balloons) and playing in his neat little car. He doesn't know his hair is cut. But Mom, who must inflict society upon him, says that proper little Jimmys must keep their hair short. And then Mom, not baby, wants to cry and save little curls from the floor and thinks her baby is growing up. But in fact he's the same he was an hour ago with long hair. He must think I'm nuts.
