Isaac's Haircut

Well, we finally did it. It broke my heart, but we had to - his hair was getting in his eyes and making his ears itch and, well, it was starting to get rather Rastafarian in the back, with his cute curls turning into more like dread locks.

Luckily Yia-Yia and Papa were here to help me through it, and they actually had a friend, Kira, who came all the way out to our house and cut Isaac's hair. She did an excellent job - if you live in Utah County and are looking for a great hairdresser, let me know I'll give you her number.

Anyway, here's a few before shots:

See what I mean by dread locks? Anyway, he did really well with the whole process. When Kira came in, my dad gave her a big hug -- and so did Isaac. :) He followed my parents' lead and kept telling her "Nice to see you 'gain!" It was pretty funny. Anway, she just had him sit up in a booster chair, and he wore the nice big cape, and she worked very quickly to give him a nice little trim. I was really impressed. Isaac sat mostly pretty still - every once in a while he would ask me for a hug (oh my sweet little boy!) and I would squeeze his hand and tell him how great he was doing.

He looks so different now! Most of his really blond hair was cut off, and of course the curls are all gone. It still makes me a little sad not to see those crazy curls, especially since the new 'do makes him look so much older, but I just have to come to terms with it. Kids grow. It's what they do. So, I'm ok with it. He's still super handsome. :) I didn't get any true "After" shots, but here are some pictures we've taken since the haircut.

Still a cutie pie, and a little more grown-up and groomed looking. Oh, and bonus! Now no one tells me he's such a cute little girl. :P
