Haircut

Oscar's bangs were in his eyes...and had been for weeks, now. I took my time thinking about getting those little baby locks cut off, his original hair, the tips that were the first wisps on his tiny newborn head. I would get a little teary thinking about it, but not too bad. And I thought it would be better to mourn in advance than to make a big weepy show of it at the salon or after.

So we headed to Americuts on Saturday for his appointment with Debbie, the owner. Here's how it went.

Getting the hang of it.

Oscar seemed to enjoy getting his haircut.

Mama and baby are happy with the results.

Papa and baby are happy, too.

Time for a celebratory ride in the big boy firetruck chair.

Oscar got a certificate and some of his locks for the baby book.

Hair that moves

Oscar has a knot in his hair, on the back of his head. We're going to have to cut it out, I'm afraid. I think it's because he turns his head from side to side so much (while lying down).

After Oscar's bath last night, Adam was telling him that he would have "hair that moves" when he grows up, and "that's something Papa never had." I'd never thought of hair in that way before.
