A change of heart

After watching Theo take steps yesterday I had a change of heart. He is a big boy now and he doesn't need to have babyish long hair anymore. So I set him in the highchair on the back porch and started cutting. First with scissors and then finishing up with the clippers. This is how he ended up:

He looks so different, doesn't he? More grown up perhaps?

After watching me cut Theo's hair, and trim Zhen a little bit, Ralphie asked me to cut his hair. Really! He asked me!

We got about halfway done and he changed his mind!!

You can see Zhen in the background. Haircuts bend him out of shape a bit, but he didn't freak out quite as bad as last time.

What to do? Ralph is done...but his hair is not!

We pushed through and finished up.

Hair was everywhere.

Even in his mouth!

Phhttt! Yuk!

He looks so handsome too! What a beautiful day for haircuts on the back porch. We left lots of clumps of hair in the trees for the birdies to line their nests.
