Our First Haircut

Evan has been in the need of a haircut for a long time now. I have been vigorously fighting against touching a single hair on his 95th percentile head. Not because I want a long haired hippie baby, but because once you cut a baby's hair, there is just no going back. Gone forever is the wispy unkempt baby hair, and you are left with little boy hair. Evan has been brushing hair out of his eyes and blinking a lot, and with his eye troubles, I really don't want to be making things worse, so I relented. And of course, in twin world, what is good for one is good for another, even if your hair is still a good length and not causing you any trouble. If someone is going to do first haircuts, everyone is going to do first haircuts.




Evan and Ryan Before
















Well as you can see, Evan knew he needed it and sat patiently while Grandma snipped and trimmed his precious locks. Ryan on the other hand-- not so much. He twisted and turned, flung his arms to and fro and looked at me with "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!!!!" written all over his face.

It's not perfect, but the first one is over, we've had our photo op, and it should be a while before we have to do this again!


























The after has my two babies looking very much like little boys. *sigh* It seems like only yesterday they were itty bitty babies in incubators. *sigh, sigh, sigh*
