hair cut

Joshua's First Haircut
plus Ethan and me too.

Well, Joshua's birthday is coming soon so we thought it apt to get him a haircut. His hair was rather scraggly and some folks thought he looked a bit like a girl what with his curls and all. So we thought it was probably about time to get him in. Ethan and I needed haircuts too, so we took out a second mortgage and went to Great Clips.

No crying for my boy this time. He took the cut like a man. I think it was the "under-the-sea" apron she had on him; complete with hammerhead shark.

An after shot of Ethan. Looking good, no? Truly he is, as his shirt so declared, a handsome little devil.




Here's a random shot of Joshua to prove three things. 1) Plaid shorts are just plain cool. 2) Joshy has long locks of hair. 3) he is standing and even taking steps now. Why, just yesterday he took 10, yes, ten steps to Challene. He'll be running marathons by Christmas.



Yet another before of Joshy. Just thought it was cute. Up until this point in time, we weren't 100% sure how we like to style his hair. Usually it just ended up parted like you see here. Not my favorite, but it worked for him and his hair type.
During. He was such a trooper. He held real still and let her do what she needed. I don't really blame him with those large arms around him for encouragement. Even I have a look of near trepidation as the clippers hack away at his golden curls. But not Joshy, no, not even a flinch.



An after shot of Joshy and his exuberance over the wonderful haircut he got.



Not a bad pic to end on.

What little cuties those boys are getting their haircuts. Wow. . .it doesn't sound like Challene was as traumatized this time with Joshua's first haircut! But then she's not in the pictures or even mentioned so maybe she's in the corner sobbing over getting Joshua's hair cut? Then again I suppose someone had to take the pictures! TAKE CARE. Miss all of you. Happy First Birthday to Joshua. Love, Grandma.

I like the plaid shorts. Of course, I have plaid capris. And, as always, cute pictures of the kids!
