Ryan has had his hair trimmed a couple times by my mom and has only had one REAL haircut before (by a professional). Well, that was a long time ago… like, when I was still pregnant with Rebecca. Needless to say, his hair had gotten long. REALLY long. Kinda embarrassingly long. So let’s check it out…
This is his last real haircut:
So this was shorter than what we were used to, but still had some length to it. Then it grew out. A lot:
And this was the baby boy I was used to! I love the long hair, but it was getting too long–it definitely needed a trim. I envisioned shorter bangs, trimmed around the ears and shortened in the back so it wasn’t as shaggy looking. My hair lady (whom I love) cut a bit more than I expected…
…but I love it!!! Does it make his beautiful blue eyes pop or what?! It took me awhile to get used to it–I just kept staring at him. Actually, I still keep staring and this happened days ago. I can’t stop rubbing his head either, haha.
The night of “the haircut,” I was laying in bed with him. I was scratching his head and watching him drift off to sleep. I got a little teary!! Where is my BABY BOY?! No, seriously, where’d he go? Because now he doesn’t even look like my baby boy. He looks like a new person. Like a big boy. Like a little man. And this mama is having a bit of a hard time with that! My eyes are watering right now! ::sob sob::
And here it is all gelled and spiky (which is not something we’ll probably ever do to it). It’s a weird feeling… I do love it… he’s adorable and it’s great for summertime… but I miss my little boy. I’M NOT READY FOR THIS! Why didn’t someone warn me that babies don’t stay babies forever? Like puppies. They should stay puppies forever.
Yes, it is cute but definitely takes some getting used to! No matter what, he is still adorable! I don’t want him to grow up either!!!!!
