I took Beckett to get a haircut yesterday. His hair was really long and in his eyes all the time, but I loved it. Look at all those curls.
I was hoping to get it trimmed and shaped into a long hairstyle that looked intentional instead of grown-out. (I had two pictures of the intended hairstyle that I gave to the stylist). The haircut went OK. Beckett actually sat without me holding him, and it was all over pretty quickly. When I got him home and his hair dried however, I realized we had a problem. I didn't take any pictures of the bad haircut, but his bangs were just as short as they are in the picture below and the back was much longer. When Nate got home we decided the bangs and top of Beckett's hair were way too short for the longish hair style and took him back to try and get the rest of his hair to look like it goes with the front. This second go around didn't go so well. Beckett screamed the whole time. We ended up with this:
I'm not crazy about it. I still think the bangs and top of his hair are too short (the second stylist hardly even touched them). And now we have no curls. I miss them. On the plus side, hopefully it will grow out nice and evenly. Maybe it will eventually morph into the style I was envisioning. Or maybe not. I guess now I have to be worried not only about stylists cutting my hair too short, but also about them cutting my kid's hair too short.

Aww! Sad the curls are gone - but he is just so handsome no matter the 'do :)
It's so hard to cut cute curls. I finally cut Koens after several people called him a girl.
oh my goodness, he's looking SO grown up! I bet the curls will be back in a few weeks, he grows hair like a champ!
and you are right, someday I'm going to have to worry about not only my length, but protecting Avalee's as well!
He has the longest eyelashes. I hear ya about liking the curls.
