First Haircut




Little Man had his first hair cut yesterday. Mainly as a futile attempt to tame his perpetual bed head. We went to a place that specializes in haircuts for kids. He could pick out a movie to watch while the stylist worked, and older kids could even choose to play a video game. (Check out the other stylist in the background of the third picture.) I am torn about this place, frankly. It was great for his first hair cut for sure. There was no crying and screaming as a strange woman approached him with sharp objects. (From me or from Dex.) Still, isn't the fact that we never have to make our kids sit still part of the reason why they can't? It seems like one of those things that causes ADD. Still, he looks so grown up with his new cut. They also saved a lock of his hair for me. This is another thing I am not sure of. Is keeping hair as a souvenir kind of weird? I suppose I'll be able to sell it on Ebay when he becomes a Nobel Laureate.

I have Iain's baby teeth in a jar. It seemed wrong, somehow, to throw them away.
