Yesterday Owen got his first hair cut.  His poor little head of hair was just so uneven and his baby hairs (the few still left) would stick straight up with crooked little ends.  When we cut Samuel’s hair for the first time at 10 months, it was good riddance to a big ol’ mess of hair and I was glad to do it.  But when Erik took this scissors and just SNIPPED that first little wing off, I almost cried.  It’s still pretty sad to see my baby walking around with his big boy haircut.  I miss his Bubba J’s little wings.  But I’m sure I’ll get over it.

Content with a popsicle . . . for now!  Sam came running over demanding a popsicle, too, so I said Ok, you’re getting your hair cut, too?  Sam ran away and didn’t ask again.

The wings, and the 12 super long baby hairs still on top of his head.  All the rest of his hair is about 1/2 an inch long.

Just helping Daddy out.

He thought he was done, but Dad wanted a couple more pictures.  So sad.  And nope, not a close cut above the right ear, he’s just completely bald there.  Told you he has a sad little head of hair.

Handsome little head.

Not too scarred afterall.  He just might survive.

I can just imagine the smug look on Erik’s face that without words, will easily communicate, “That’s why I dont let you do these kind of things.”  Yeah, well that’s why I’m not telling him.  He’ll never know.  Until he comes home from work today and sees what I’ve done to our child.

In self defense, Samuel’s hair was bad news.  It was long, unruly, and driving me nuts.  I’ve been snipping at it for about a week now, and today decided to just pull out the clippers.  I could’ve sworn we always use the 3 to cut Sam’s hair, and then the 2 on back and sides.  So so sooooo wrong.  And not a whole lot of fixing I could do after making that first stripe from forehead to crown.  No going back then.  Crap crap crap.  At least Samuel isn’t quite old enough yet to hate me for making him look like an alien.  I’m more worried about the crap Erik is going to give me.  However, I did just find these pictures on the camera from last weekend when I was out of town.  So maybe Erik doesn’t have as much on me as I first thought.
