Judsen's 1st Haircut

Yes, it's that time. And it's early for our house: as a little girl, Grace's hair grew and grew until almost 3 before it needed some shaping and such. But boys are different; without some structure, their hair can run amock, indeed. But, for those of you who recall, Elijah had all this beautiful curly hair, so cutting was unnecessary. And, now, we've arrived at Judsen: straight hair like Grace's with a fine texture that seems to flip and flop any which old way it chooses. So, it was time to give it that cut and shape...and at 18 months, no less!

Here's the before and after...

He looks more like a little boy, right?

While not without some minor bumps, the process of me cutting was actually pretty painless. Oh, did I mention I do the hair cutting of children and husband around here?

First, we had a runaway. "Nuh-uh, Mama, I

don't like the look of them there scissors!"

But he was soon distracted by a "treasure."              And the cutting could commence. Grace took photos.

And here's the final product...post comb. Sigh.
