Things were getting hairy


So Luke's hair grows one way -- straight up. Actually, it grows sort of up and back creating the perfect fuzzball of hair. People loved to touch and rub his little static shock head. They asked me if I've ever cut it because it is a perfect little helmet of even length hair. I tried putting gel in it to give it little spikes, but it just sort of sprung back up into it's normal "do." Then one night Dustin informs me that we need to buzz Luke's head because he's starting to look goofy. I think my face looked like this: WHAT? You want to shave our baby's perfect little head? But he's so adorable (in a goofy sort of way).

Thursday night my neighbor offered to watch the kids so I could catch the PTO meeting and when I came back to pick up the kids we were talking about Luke's hair. Nonchalantly I toss out, "Dustin wants to BUZZ it," expecting her to be as horrified as I am. She kind of nods and says, "I can see that." WHAT??? So we start talking about how thin it is and how it will grow in a lot thicker and evener if we shave and I decided to bite the bullet and cut it at that exact minute. Literally that minute. I made her go get the clippers and buzz Luke's hair right then and there.

Nate summed up my feelings perfectly, "I miss Luker's old hair, but he sure looks handsome to me." Thanks Casey for doing it for me on my little impulsive whim. I still love that little noggin and now you can really focus on his adorable little face.

He's cute either way, but the hair definitely did distract from his adorable face. But then again, I'm partial to buzz cuts! :)
