Goodbye curls

Skibo has the most amazingly gentle curls in his blonde hair: but it was getting tooooo long, and LOML and I decided, after lots of agonizing, that it was time to get it cut. And so, after taking a long walk in the botanical gardens with him, Boo, LOML and the dog, and our taking lots and lots of photos, we ended up at the hairdresser: we had made appointments for both him and for Boo --- and they both sat perfectly still, wonderfully well behaved. The long long curls are now a thing of history and photographs, but we left his hair long enough that it still has some big curls to it.
It does make him look different: older, and perhaps more boyish. Maybe we'll no longer get people coming up to us in the grocery store telling us how pretty our girls are! (Which was always very strange: his face is not particularly feminine: he has a sly boyish grin, for sure: but people would see hair past his shoulders in this area and just assume: girl.)

Yours, trimmed as well,
N.

  2. But what would have happened should he have been born with stick-straight hair?
