Isaac's First...

...Haircut!!!

After about the hundredth person commented on what a beautiful daughter I had, while referring to Isaac, I finally caved-in to societal pressures and took my SON to get his first professional haircut. I told the lady that I did not want much taken off the length. I just wanted her to even it out because I wanted to keep his curls. She told me that she would need to take a little more off the ends than I wanted in order to even it out, but that she'd leave the top and sides long. She told me that if she cut it shorter on the ends, it would really lighten up the weight of his hair and make his curls pop out more. I reluctantly agreed.

Isaac did great. He sat on my lap and sucked on a tangerine lollipop the entire time. When she was done, I turned Isaac around and realized that she'd cut off all of his curls. She looked at me and said "Don't you start crying, because that will make him start crying." I told her "But you cut off all of his curls" as my voice started to crack. I held it together though. It is after all, just hair... I know it will grow back. Who thought I'd ever get so teary-eyed over a few curls? But it just makes him look like an entirely different kid. When we got home, Hector said "His hair wasn't even this short at birth. But he's still the cutest Bubba out there, and he's even cuter now than he was before."
