It became an obsession for him.
His hair became him.
As his parents, we were happy to let him express himself in such a simple little way. We had no idea if it would be a permanent fixture, a temporary right of passage, or what.
His "golden fleece."
He loved his long hair.
He was gorgeous, even during all the awkward in-between stages.
But...
He didn't like being called a girl by random old men in costco.
Neither did he appreciate the daily detangling that had to take place.
When summer hit, he was hot.
Especially while wearing his favorite "wool" hat. Geesh.
He wanted it buzzed. We compromised with a trim, since we had a wedding to attend and were worried he would miss his hair. But once we returned, he was still ready.
Doesn't he look so grown up? (ignore the chocolate ice cream on the tip of his nose!)
That cute face, adorable eyelashes, splattering of freckles. I love him with or without his long hair.
We'll see what's next with this kid. I can't wait.
