Carson was due for another haircut – and while Rick and a bunch of other people mentioned that we should let Carson’s hair grow to see if it would be curly like Mallory’s, I couldn’t do it – at least not in the summer. Carson’s hair is thicker than it looks and when you play as hard as he does, he gets really sweaty. So I opted to give him another summer cut and then maybe in the fall see about letting to grow a little.
I am also aware that he ages every time I get him one of these big kid haircuts but I can’t stand how cute he looks all un-shaggy and fluffy.
Anyway – yesterday my baby boy sat by himself in the barber chair for the first time (usually he’s on my lap in the barber chair).
He didn’t shed any tears and just smiled his “I’m not smiling” smile whenever the barber* or the other customers commented on how well he was doing.
I, however, may have slightly teared up seeing him sit in the chair by himself. Shame on me for not bringing a real camera.
*is it a “barbess” if it is female barber?
Ha Ha. She cuts Mike’s hair. Chris in the barber chair kills me too. Especially now when he cracks up from the brushing. New hair + big chair + no teeth. It KILLS me. I need to bring a camera next time.
