A haircut for Aaron

 It was time. He made it past his third birthday with not even a trim. We love his awesome curly hair, but with the weather cooling (freezing) off, his beautiful curls turned into a mess of long uncontrollable wisps. And, he started getting comments referencing him as "her" or "she," which is where Chris draws the line. Of course, if he was a girl, we could've tamed that hair with some cute clips or something and none of this would've had to happen.

 Before.

Oh boy, hair all wet and ready to go.

 Chris is the resident barber in our house (and believe me, it is a super stressful job around here), but Aaron insisted that it was Mommy cut his hair. So, after looking through several tutorials online on cutting boys hair, we decided to give it a go. Matthew got his hair cut at the same time, and it was a real time saver to have two haircuts being performed at once.

 Sniff. I hoped those curls wouldn't disappear altogether.

 Post-haircut bath to get all those itchy hair clippings off.

 All dry, and surprise! Hair is still curly!

 So, I didn't cut everything, just tidied it up a bit. (Which is also nice because it hides my amateur hair cutting skills.)

Which is good. I don't think we could've handled an Aaron without his signature hair. :)

Matthew gets a haircut

It's no secret that the Hanzeli boys are a bit challenged when it comes to filling their bald baby heads with hair. Matthew started earlier than Daniel, but his hair is so light that it appears to be much less than it is. However, the day finally came...yesterday Matthew had his first haircut. Auntie Karen volunteered, and without looking back, Matthew made the transition to looking more like a big boy.

 A few days ago, Matthew was sporting a curly pig tail.

How grown up he looks!
