Shave and a Haircut…Three Kids!

Author: Amber

This last week was the week of many haircuts.

It began with Daniel, who decided, with many many people asking him when he would get his [long] hair cut, to have it cut short when school ended, after his birthday. I have to admit that I was a little sad about this haircut stuff, and bothered that people kept pestering him about it because I loved his long hair. Hair is just hair though, and this hair is his, on his very own head which makes haircuts his very own decision.

We decided to give the professionals a try and took Daniel to Beaners for his very first “not-at-home” haircut.

Here are the before and after shots, and one more pic I took after I trimmed Daniel’s bangs a little more and spiked it for him (at his request):

Andrew and Josh saw Daniel’s new haircut and loved how different he looked. For days after he had it done, they would joke around that they couldn’t find Daniel, saying he looked like a different person. Andrew decided he wanted to look like a different person too, and after refusing haircuts for awhile, asked to have his hair like Daddy’s. So, I shaved it!

My opinion, which, again, doesn’t really matter, is that it looked better longer. I miss his longer hair too.

Now, Joshua loved that everyone was getting haircuts and he wished for one too! His hair was already pretty short since his regular cut is a shaved look like his Daddy’s! He loves to be “little Jon” and the glasses and haircut really make them look alike! Here are Josh’s before and after pics:

Aww, my sweet adorable boys - growing up so quickly!

I got a haircut this week as well, but in my opinion, it was not a good one. I have only ever been unhappy with one haircut before this and I kind of grew to like it. This one not so much. No before and after pics of me…I’m actually debating getting another cut - shorter - to make it easier to do my hair again. Right now it is not easy, doesn’t look good up or down, straight or curly; and that is not what I was going for at all! I am good at doing my hair a variety of ways and working with what I have, but I just don’t have a lot of time to do that every day!

Anyway…how can I have a post with so many pictures of my kids and leave one out? Here is a picture of Claire, who did not receive a haircut and likely won’t for at least two more years. Probably longer, since the boys didn’t even receive their first haircuts until they were almost three years old. We are slow hair-growers in this family!

Wishing all who read here many happy haircuts to come! May you love every one you receive!
