From Hippie To Businessman

For some time now, Luke has been rocking what I affectionately call dirty hippie hair. Hair-wise, he was a late bloomer. There was no way we could've taken him for his first haircut at a year because, well, he didn't have a whole lot to cut. Even at a year and a half, but then all of a sudden, he was like a Chia Pet. His hair just grew, grew, grew. It curled over his ears, it curled down his neck, and I liked it. I loved my boy with his tousled long hair, but I hated constantly correcting strangers who called him a girl, and I hated the way it tangled in the back.

So off we went to Locks of Fun, where he got to sit in a super cool fighter jet.

He was a perfect angel during the hair cut, but somehow in the span of thirty minutes he morphed from my little hippie baby to a little boy.

And as you can see, he lost his hair, but he did not lose his inability to stand still.

Such a big difference those 1st haircuts make. And I was almost there today with my two boys, but put it off until next week.

Dirty hippie hair!! LOVE it!

BJ was the same way. At one - NO HAIR! We got his first haircut at 20 months an he totally had a baby mullet. It's was so white-blonde and flipped up in a curl on ends. I cried when they cut it.

He's so handsome!!

Oh don't I know it. The hair cut - totally morphs them from baby to boy. He looks adorable though. And I agree with Kristen up there; he does look like his mama!

How sweet!! Kiddo's due for a haircut. I always marvel at how DIFFERENT he looks each time we get it cut. (His hair grows SO FAST.)
