The Archie Archives: Jack's First Haircut

Two weeks ago, Jack experienced one of life's great milestone, or maybe it was just a great parenting milestone, I don't know...I haven't come to grips with it yet. We...sniff, sniff...cut Jack's beautiful hair! The curls were getting a little out of control and daddy was persistent. So here is our haircut day in pictures. It's okay to cry if you need to ;) I did. The kiddie hair salon was fun. It had a train table and puzzles to play with while we waited. They played Disney movies on TVs that were in front of each station, and the "chairs" were in the shapes of airplanes, fire trucks, race cars, etc, in pink and blue! At first Jack went for the pink car, but much to Justin's relief, ended up choosing the blue plane :)

I begged her to save every little curl! They went in a ceramic trinket box marked "baby's first curl" when we got home. I may or may not have taken them out and curled them around my finger several times in the week to follow. I think I went through a mild depression. ;)

This handsome boy did SO well! The hair dresser thought he was older than 2 because of how well he sat and followed instructions. We were so proud!!

And the final result! My handsome, slicked back, big boy! We don't use product to style his hair. We let it go and the curl in the front it to die for!
