The haircut

Kole has never NOT had long hair. He had his first haircut well after he turned one. It was not that he caused a fuss whenever we had it cut, he was very well behaved during them and it was quite easy... we were just used to his long shaggy "do" and he seemed to like it too. We just decided to try something different; at first he was a bit apprehensive and wanted nothing to do with cutting it all off. But once I told him he would look like his Dad AND look so much older...he was all for it. It is quite the difference. In fact, we were at the park yesterday and one of his classmates happened to be there. They were playing together for a good fifteen minutes when he looked at Kole and asked him "what is your name?" He didn't even recognize him! Kole got his hair cut after class on Tuesday so he hadn't seen it yet. It was quite funny.

Before....

After....

Sure is not our "baby" anymore. He looks all grown up...our handsome young man now. Where does time go?
