What Was I Thinking? Or Thomas's First Haircut

Before:



For a while I have been saying I need to cut Thomas's hair. I think its just been an automatic response when people would comment on how long it was getting. I had been reluctant about cutting his hair for several reasons. First, I didn't want him to loose that "Baby Look". Second, I kinda liked his shaggy mane. And third, I was terrified he would be so wiggly that I would butcher his hair. Turns out that is exaclty what happened.


For some reason, I just got the impulse today. And I thought, I'd better do it now before I change my mind. Hindsight is always 20/20. Now I think, "Why didn't you wait til Clint was there to help???" Poor Thomas eneded up looking like a mix between a monk and an amish boy. It is way too short and has random chunks in parts. Poor little guy. He is still pretty cute though. Here is to hoping it grows out fast!

After:




PS. These pictures don't fully illustrate that silliness of the haircut. He really does look like a monk.

Laurie, you're being too hard on yourself! His hair looks cute. You should have seen the monk cut I did on poor Peter. THAT was bad!

Did you save the hair? If not, make sure you save it after his next haircut. It's fun to see how much the color and texture changes the older they get.

I think he looks cute! It makes his big eyes look even more huge.

And it is a pretty decent haircut.

It doesn't look bad to me, honestly! I like it! I hear people that have a hard time cutting there baby's hair for the same reasons but I like shorter hair so if I ever have a boy and his hair is long please tell me to cut it! :) I haven't had a problem cutting my girls hair, I actually just trimmed Kinlie's a few days ago and she can see out of her eyes again. :)it's very hard cause they don't understand they have to hold still, Kinlie's wasn't that even cause she kept moving but its just going to have to do. Sarah I don't remember you doing that to Pete and I agree, Laurie your being to hard on yourself.

I didn't remember Pete's cut until Sarah told the story. But it was pretty cute! And it always grows back. Trust me. You'll be cutting it again in no time.

I think he looks fantastic. :) But I had a similar experience cutting Grace's hair. I cut it impulsively with no one to advise me. So I know how you feel. :) But seriously, he looks really handsome. I'm excited to see him in person.
