Josiah's 1st Haircut






We've been contemplating for awhile now about cutting Josiah's hair. When mentioning it to friends and family, we definitely got mixed reviews. The best was from Eric's sister, Renee. She said, "No! You can't cut his hair! That's his identity...he's like Sampson!" I thought that one was pretty funny. However, as time passed by and we started seeing less and less of his ears and he started looking more and more shaggy, we decided to just bite the bullet and do it. We were on our way home from Santa Barbara and we stopped in Paso Robles for some lunch and a little stroll so the kids could get out of the car for awhile. We walked passed a store called "Kids Cuts" and all they did was cut kids hair. So, we wondered in and inquired about getting a haircut for Josiah. They were so kid oriented and kid friendly that we couldn't pass it up. They let Josiah sit on Eric's lap and had a singing ELMO to entertain Josiah while she was cutting his hair. They even had a little play area for the girls to wander around in. All in all, it was a great pit stop and they did a great job on Joe's hair. He looks so grown up! We didn't get a great "after" photo but it really does look better. :)

My husband made some lame comment about cutting my kids' hair the other day and I just looked at him lie he'd grown horns. No way are my babies not getting their full head of curls before we do anything. Of course we're still bald in front with the mullet look in back, so no sheepdog look yet. Glad he took it so well!
