Finally!
We got Matthew’s hair cut!
We have been meaning to get it cut for weeks now, but we kept putting it off. Finally I just said “get in the car, we are going NOW”.
He was not too thrilled about it, but there were no tears, or grumbling, just wiggling and a lot of signing and saying “help”.
I was impressed how well he did, even when she pulled out the clippers to shave the back of his neck.
Afterwards we celebrated by getting Korean food at a REALLY good restaurant here in town, and then got him his own cup of ice cream on the way home.
And yes, I even cut the back.
Terri asked me how I felt about it earlier. Yes, it looks good, and I do like it… but I am also very sad. I have always loved the long soft downy locks of hair, and I do think the long hair was so cute… but it was time. He feels so much older to me now, and I miss being able to hold him against my chest and put my fingers through his hair at night when he was sleepy… but it was time. My 22 month old baby seems one step closer to being a two year old toddler.

It really does looks adorable, but I know what you mean when you say you’re going to miss it. {{HUGS}}

I understand. We’ve been meaning to get Baby Boy’s haircut for a while now. It’s not as long, but it is long and shaggy. I guess I need to get around to it, tho, huh?
Here’s to watching them grow older, and whining about it!
