This blog is about haircuts. Me and my son both got ours cut this past week. My mom cut mine around Wednesday or so... I'm really digging it so far. 😀 Less hair, less trouble. Works for me. I really think this is the best haircut I've ever had. I always like whatever she does to my hair, but this one is super low-maintenance. And it reminds me of something you'd see on a short-haired pixie or something. I feel cute. 😊😄

About my kiddo's hair...well, that's something else entirely. It turned out great - don't get me wrong... it was just a tremendous change. This was the first time he's ever had it cut (he's 5). Needless to say it was very long. When it was down it came to right above his butt-crack. He had such beautiful hair. It was silky and black. It was so soft that no matter what I did to it, it just wouldn't stay put for long. Now it's less than an inch long. He had about a foot of hair cut off. Now he looks a lot older, but that's ok. I'll get used to it. 

 Anyway, his haircut was a bitter-sweet event. It was just more proof to me that my baby is growing up.  It happens so fast. But, I handled it pretty well... I didn't cry or anything, but my poor little mommy did - the whole time she was doing it. I really felt bad for her. From what I hear she's still not over it. I suppose it's just as hard for your grandbabies to grow up as it is your own kids... harder, even. I dunno. Ah, well, she'll be ok, I'm sure... On the bright side me and Nick were both pretty excited; and most importantly:  Shadow was happy. So that's good.
