Time for a haircut!

We realized the time had come for Will to get his first haircut. We knew he needed one for a month or so but we kept putting it off. I think the first official haircut signals the transition from babyhood to big boy life. Sigh. But he was starting to develop a mullet (although those tend to be popular here in southern VA) so it was time. We went to this great place in Virginia Beach called Pigtails and Crewcuts. They cater to kids and have fun cars instead of chairs to sit in, play movies, and have staff who is great with kids. Will was a little wary thoughout the process but he was distracted enough that it wasn't a big deal. Here he is before the big snip, looking a little shaggy.

Will got to choose his "chair". There was a firetruck, car, airplane, and taxi. He chose the taxi; I think Keith was a little disappointed that he didn't go for the plane! Here he is thinking "You mean I get to sit in this cool taxi? How bad can this be?"

This is when he started to get a little unsure of the situation. Every time the hairdresser tried to go in for the cut, Will kept leaning away from her. I kept thinking he'd fall out of the taxi before she'd get to the hair.

He looks like he's driving a get away car; trying to get out of this situation fast!


The finished product! He looked so handsome and grown-up with his big boy haircut.
