The First Cut... the Sprout Edition.

i took the sprout to get his first haircut today. we went to one of those special places just for kids.... my sister said she only did boy hair with clippers and i didn't want it THAT short so we had to opt for a professional. we really wanted him to look good for his big day!

it started out ok. sitting in taxi cab and watching baby mozart was good, but he seemed suspicious...

then a STRANGER came NEAR HIM!!!! OMG!!!!!!

and she WOULD NOT STOP TOUCHING HIM!!!!
he actually flailed around. tried to throw himself out of the taxi. and basically didn't sit still for even a second. he was incredibly unhappy about the whole process.... mommy, of course, giggled at his ridiculousness!

but his "wings" (or "girl hair") are a thing of the past. we trimmed up but didn't go really "big boy" short so he'd still look like a baby.
his birthday is one week from today. ONE week. time sure does fly, doesn't it?!?

I can't believe how much he looks like Bean in some of those pictures! (A manly Bean!) So cute!

Oh good, he still looks like a baby!!! Poor guy wasn't too big on some weird lady getting her paws all over him.

That is too funny -- the tragedy of a haircut!

And he's going to be one in a WEEK?! Where did the time go?

He looks so grown up, for a 1-yr old that is!

And I didn't know that his birthday is one day before mine. How fun!

Can't wait to wish him Happy B-day! : )

Those places always look like great fun, poor Sprout but he does look handsome. Love how you kept some hair to not make him look to grown up, plenty of time for that
