At first I wasn't a big fan of the longer-hair look for little boys these days. Then, it started to grow on me. I thought we'd give it a try for our boys, they have always had such short hair. Letting it grow was an adventurous change. (plus, it was convenient to not have to get a hair cut every 3 weeks)! The boys liked it, especially in the bath tub...making crazy hair dos with shampoo in their lengthy locks. They would discover new ways to comb it, slick it, frizz it, or just let it go "moppy."
Well, it is now approaching spring and summer. Their hair was still in the "in-between" stage of short and cute-long. We decided a chop was due. With all the out-door play, swimming and heat coming up, I know this was the best choice. The boys didn't have a single argument at all. Out came the trustee clippers with a #4 attachment, and Daddy doing the shearing. A heap of blonde hair later, we had these 2 handsome boys!
"I look bald", said one.
"now I can run super fast", said the other.
Had we remembered that just 3 days later it was "CRAZY HAIR DAY" at school, we wouldn't have had to resort to these WIGS to give their heads the craziness they needed.
This little monkey didn't want to be left out of all the excitement !
