...the haircut is bound to happen. You know, when your child decides they can cut their own hair? Or their brothers? Yesterday, I hopped into the shower before we were expecting friends. Colin had the day off of school and the kids were super excited to be together and to have friends coming over. The minute after I stepped out of the shower, Ethan knocked on the door and said, "Um, mom, I did a little haircutting while you were in the shower?" "WHAT?!" "Oh, and Colin's too." So not only did he decide to cut his hair, his older brother allowed a little play with the scissors as well. Truth be told, I'm not a mom that hides everything, and because Ethan loves cutting tickets using scrap paper for puppet shows, he's got access to safety scissors. Well guess what, safety scissors cut hair. It could've been much worse. As it was, Colin's hair is so thick the handful of spots Ethan got were able to be blended for the day. And the spot near his bangs was right where his colic is... so again, we hid that. Ethan took a bit off the front and then the back near his Dennis the Menace colic. Somewhat hideable--at least enough for us to get through the day and then karate. I put a hat on him and when he took it off he had winter hat head anyway. So the minute we got home yesterday, haircuts commenced. And while both asked for a scissor cut, due to an insane amount of squirming, they ended up buzzed. Colin had to be taken to a 2 because of he jerked his head and took out another chunk! We've now discovered he has really cool moles on his scalp. Eh, boys, what are you going to do? At least we had the clippers at the ready!
See the chunk out of my bangs? I'm SO cute!
Just some of the mess on the bathroom floor. Loads of hair!

(Is it me or is this kid photogenic?)
