Buzzzzzzzz

Someone got a haircut. Took me a bit to get use to it but now (especially since there is less crying about washing and combing it) I really like it. Such a handsome fellow.

A Real Cut

This is the picture the lady who cut Afton's hair took after a very easy and quick first salon haircut. I had been cutting Afton's hair at home, but since I was basically just trimming it to keep it out of his eyes, his hair was turning into a mullet. I decided to take him to get a "real" cut. I thought it was going to be a horrific ordeal but he was really good. I'm sure the Elmos video, race car seat, stuffed dog, and other fun toys were distracting enough. I almost thought his patience had left while waiting for the stylist to get a band-aid for the cut she gave herself about three snips into it. BUT he was a good boy and only asked a few times to get down. All in all it was a great trip. He still has some cute curls and his hair is out of his eyes. I think I can keep it trimmed for a while, but when the back starts getting longer than the front you know we will be back.

1st Haircut

I cut Afton's hair for the first time so that Nippon's mom could take some to India with her (of course I kept some too). There is a temple called TaraTarini in Orissa that takes hair as offerings during the months of March & April. We asked that the priest take his curls there.

I didn't cut much. Mostly just the long wispy hairs that stuck out. Luckily he still has curls left over. This also made it easy to cut because if I made a mistake you can't tell.

The final product.
I didn't take a before picture, but you can't tell much of a difference.
He does look a little older though, at least to me.
