Haircuts

Due to Austin's desperate need of a haircut, no matter how much he protested and cried and begged, I buzzed his hair last night. For those who don't know, he has a hair fetish. He has always LOVED playing with hair. When he was younger I let him play with mine, when that became annoying I banished him from my hair. So obviously he prefers to have his hair long, because when when its buzzed its too short to play with properly. So I let his hair grow out as long as I can stand it before buzzing it off. The above picture doesn't show just how nappy his hair was becoming with tweaks and twists and cowlicks and this tuft of hair on top of his head that stood up all the time because that's where he plays with it. I shuddered everytime we went into public and I'd catch a glimpse of his uncombed or self-styled hair sticking up all over the place. One very adorable aspect of his hair fetish is when I catch him playing with his sister's hair while they watch tv or a movie. And the other day I saw Olivia playing with his hair. But even now, I can't stand to have him playing with my hair, though he tries--like when I give him a hug at bedtime or we are reading books on the couch together or anytime my hair is down.

Nyah just wanted her hair cut because Austin was getting a haircut. But she looks fabulous in a short cut. Not that she's ever let her hair get long enough for us to know how she would look with long hair, lopping off her ponytails and all, but she's always a beautiful girl.

Olivia wanted a haircut too, but I couldn't do it!! Her front hair is in her eyes, but since she's never had a haircut, its her baby hair and I didn't want to cut it. Her first haircut can be self-inflicted, which is only a matter of time.

I always want to say "Congratulations!! to Brad and Katie Laws (#2) who had their baby a few weeks ago!!! COngratulations!! She's beautiful!! I have a link to their blog on my sidebar if you want to see pictures.
