Landons....1st....Haircut! :(

Ok, so we had been thinking that maybe we should just get Landon a little trim. Its not secret to you all, Im sure, that Landon's little curls are just to precious to us and we were DEFINATLY not ready to cut them off. That said, there were a few random long hairs here and there and his bangs were getting into his eyes. I had gone down to 3rd St. last Friday to run into Shutterbug and figured while I was down there I would swing in to see my sister (my first mistake!) Being in the salon, and having my camera, I asked if we could possible just trim his bangs up a bit. She got him in the seat and started to attempt the task. As you will see in all of these pictures...he was very sad. I mean, literally, it was as if he knew what was happening and was truly heart broken over it. After the bangs had been cut (which to me meant a snip off the end, of course she had to blend them back into his hair which made it seem a lot shorter). Than she said the fateful words "Any where else?" And I stupidly said, "Well maybe just round his ears. There are a few long hairs." NOTE: Never give a stylist anyting but EXACT directions. They are like cut crazy people. Even if they are your sister! She...took...his...curls! In her defense she was trying to keep him from having a mullet, which I guess was important too, but those sweet little curls, the ones that stick out the sides under his ears...gone! :( The curls are still in the back, but now you can really notice the one long one making his appear to have a rats tail! So now we are struggling to balance keeping those precious curls and not letting our son look white trash. The dilemmas of being a parent, I tell ya.
