he doesn’t have to worry about living up to it

It’s no secret to me (and the world at large) that my child is freaking adorable.

Go ahead, roll your eyes and gag a little.  It’s okay.  I don’t mind.  But he is brilliantly handsome, and that’s just a fact.

And when his hair gets all shaggy, I think it gives him this sweet charm.

But it’s summertime now – a time when little ones get especially hot and sweaty.  He’s been batting at his hair, getting annoyed with it.  I’ve been watching it inch closer to his eyes, slowly.  Haircut time has been approaching.

I knew this was coming and I’ve had… plans.

When he got so incredibly frustrated with it last week that he started slapping at the side of his head and growling, I asked him if he wanted a haircut.  His response was, “YES, MOMMY. OH. YES.”

So I told him I’d cut it soon and asked him if he wanted the kind of haircut I was thinking of giving him.  He said yes without a pause.  I asked him if he knew what that meant.  He just looked at me and smiled. I laughed and saved the definition for later.

Yesterday, I showed him a photo to see if he was sure.  The child smiled so largely that his face almost broke.

“Do you want me to cut your hair like that?”

“Oh, yes, Mommy!  Yes, that’s right!”

And then he bounded off and head butted the dog a few times before howling and racing into the kitchen, where he slammed into the cabinets, bounced back, and rolled across the floor laughing.

I’m pretty sure it suits his personality.

Age of Aquarius

Hey there, remember me? I’m Dawn from Alex Year Two.

No?

Let me remind you:

Riiight. Now you remember them me.

I am in desperate need of your help. It’s vital people. VITAL.

It’s even more important than (then?) when I asked for advice about what color to paint my toenails.

This is about hair.

Once upon a time, I was featured on Hair Thursday. (You’ll have to click over for this – kinda like a scavenger hunt – I’m on the bottom.)

Now the beautiful Sarah gave me great advice, then my life blew up and I am just now ready to tackle this here hair situation.

Kicked in the ass by this photo taken by my husband, Scout.

 

I’ve worked on taking better care of it so it looks less frizzola.

(hotel wallpaper – NOT my own bathroom.)

 

Sarah gave me conservative cutting advice (because I came off like a chicken shizzle in my email) – and I totally trust her. But then I found out about Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths …. 8 inches off my hair …. hm ….

I found someone to cut my hair, she’s never touched my hair before. This makes me a little nervous.

I’m committed to coloring my hair – it’s a good change. I’m waffling on whether or not I should follow my Hair Thursday advice to the letter or if I should chop off a big ole pony tail for the greater good.

First 100 voters get a chance to control my destiny! Big reveal will be at BlogHer!

 
When Dawn isn’t flashing her BEWBS over here, she struts her stuff over at Alex Year Two. After you vote about her hair, hop over there and read her adventures with Alex, Scout, and… drunk santa?  Hm….
