Happy Haircut

After 3 years, Tristan and I decided that it was time for me to cut his hair for the first time. Reason 1: He was really good about combing out the front and sides of his hair, but had neglected to ever comb out the back, so it had dreaded up into a big, hard ball. Reason 2: He thought his hair would get really hot this summer, and Reason 3: I even heard him mention to someone he was a little afraid a tick would get in there and he would be able to get it out. So, I suggested we do it when school got out. Last week he comes to me and says, "Mom, can we cut my hair next Monday instead of Thursday?" He was getting a little nervous, I think, and wanted to just enjoy his hair a few more days. As it turned out we ended up cutting his hair last night. I got about halfway done when my battery on my clippers ran out, and we had to wait about an hour for it to charge back up. It was a lot of fun and we all had a good time. Now I think his plan is to grow it back out, but be better about combing out ALL of it! Austin with the dread from the back of Tristan's head on top of his head. It kind of looks like a really bad toupee doesn't it???

After it all came off.

Isn't he handsome???
