Goodbye Goldilocks

I finally broke down and decided to cut Ted's hair.  His cousin Caige is a couple months older and has yet to have his hair cut.  The poor kid is rocking a mullet.  I got a few comments about Ted becoming mullet number two, so I decided...off with his hair!

 



 

Here is the infamous before shot. It's time to say goodbye to the mini mullet buddy!  From the picture you'd think he was saying, "You'll never get my hair!  Not if it's the last thing I do you crazy person!"  Believe me, if I had a choice, I'd keep his curls.  It's sad to see your little man to outgrow his baby days and become a toddler. 

 

 

This picture doesn't do him justice, but he really did have cute curls on the back of his hair and I miss them terribly!

 



 

As for the haircutting experience, he did pretty well. I was worried that he'd grab the clippers and cut himself. I always picture those hazard signs with the stick figure people mutilating themselves when it comes to things like this, so to prevent a fingerless child I gave him a dum dum sucker. It worked wonderfully and he enjoyed the whole event!

 

  I let Zach do the honors of cutting while I documented the whole ordeal.  I should have been a little more prepared and got a nice before and after shot, but Stetzen's photo patience is limited.  But, it's forever engraved in the blog world so it'll be ok.  I can't get over the cute faces he made while we cut his hair.  I had a hard time staying behind the camera to take pictures because it was too funny.

 

After ten minutes of cutting we have the proud new toddler owning his newly cut do.  I think he lost a lot of his baby look, which is so sad, but this momma is going to roll with the punches and embrace her handsome little boy!  He looks so darn cute.  Once it was cut, I think he looks a lot like his cousin Wyatt.  I never thought he looked like any of them before, but it's amazing how much a haircut can change your appearance!
