A Real Boy!

Sorry folks...I'm way behind on blogging. Feel like I can't even catch my breath these days. And some of you moms work full time?? Honestly...I don't know how you do it!! I had a couple posts I wanted to do but my DVR'd Project Runway is seriously calling my name so I'm only going to do the most important one. Bennett's 1st Haircut!! Yes, he's 2 1/2, but I was having a really hard time admitting he was really ready for one. I hate when little baby boys turn into big boys overnight when their parents chop off all that fine wispy baby hair so soon and I didn't want Bennett to be a big boy yet! But as you can tell from these before pics, it was a little overdue. (Funny...I didn't realize how overdue it was until I saw these before and after pics! Yikes!) I have a new awesome hairstylist who goes to my church so I just brought him over to her house today and she did it for me. She just trimmed the back and the sides so we can keep growing it out.
Here's the before:
While she was cutting it, he sat so incredibly still with this serious expression on his face. So cute. I told him he was turning into a real boy and he said, "Like Pinocchio!".

And the after!:


It definitely tore at my heart watching him grow up before my very eyes but he looks adorable now. And he won't be so high-maintenance anymore. We used to have to do lots of wetting and combing every morning so he didn't go out with his Afro.

  3. He's so cute! Ethan was the same age before his first haircut! Now he gets one about once a year because I can't part with his long curls! Bennett's hair looks great!

  7. It turned out great - still those little boy curls but more manageable for sure. Bennett is just as sweet inside as he is cute outside! Yes, Kristy...just ask me!
