Haircut

I hope you had a safe and fun 4th of July! What did you do?

Maximus got his very first haircut. EVER! Well, it wasn't anything major...just his bangs. But, it did take a lot of deliberation, since I really didn't want to cut anything off until his first REAL haircut. And I was certainly NOT ready for that! 

The decision was easier to make, once it was pointed out to me (by Rob) that I'm always fussing over M's hair...sweeping his bangs out of his eyes. So, that and the fact that M was looking through or under his bangs, most of the time, settled it for me.

Poor guy...how could he see?

Lately, he's been attached to his comb and brush. Perhaps this was a hint that he was pleading for a haircut? haha

While we were giving M a bath this morning, I cut his bangs. They ended up shorter than I anticipated. I should know better by now, that hair is longer when wet.

But, most importantly, now he can see without any obstruction.

This is why I couldn't cut anything else - those waves and curls!!!

 

A few strangers have referred to him as a girl. Not sure why they would say that as I usually dress him pretty gender specific. But...perhaps it's the hair...Oh well...

It was such a beautiful day, weather wise. Not too hot here like some parts of the country. We went to lunch and sat outside and then came home and rested.

In the evening, I heard tons of fireworks all around us and I watched a few nearby light up the sky, out the window. We figured that M is still a little young for the whole 4th of July scene, so we'll probably wait until next year to introduce him to it.

And yes, we saved the first clippings, but it hardly amounted to much.

Happy day!
