An accidental haircut

Bangs reached to his eyes
I trimmed them so carefully
He had a mullet

I reluctantly
took up again the scissors
good bye baby curls



E will soon be participating in an extended family photo shoot and I wanted to have his hair out of his eyes but without that freshly cut "wow do I look surprised!" effect. The result was, as his father says "business in the front, party in the back"-- aka a mullet. I could not leave him that way but that meant his soft, fluffy curls had to go. The hair in back, when straight, reached well past his shoulders but usually sprung up to tickle the back of his neck. E looks like such a little boy now, less like a baby. It is probably a welcome relief for him to have the hair off his neck in this humidity. I am a bit sad though.

Thanks for the compliment (and comment) on the haircut - he has very forgiving hair to cut with the waviness masking the non-straight portions. One lonely little curl above his ear peaks out sometimes; very cute!

Oh my, you weren't kidding. He really does look like a grown up little boy.
