The 80's are Out!

I have been hesitant to cut Wyatt's hair for a long, long time. It took him so long to grow any hair at all that it felt like a shame to cut off all his hard work. However, it was becoming more and more apparent that it had to be done. Over the summer, he has these tight curls at the base of his neck. So cute. More recently his curls have become heavy, matted down, and frizz. Even in his "all boy" clothing he has been mistaken for a girl far too often. I have allowed him to grow a mullet. A full fledged mullet. There is really no excuse for that.

So, I motivated on a spontaneous whim. That often happens to me. Its ok until suddenly its not and I have to fix it immediately. I found this little place called Little Stars. They had airplanes and jeeps that he could sit in and could play video's at each station. They were also smart enough to have a ton of toys.

He sat still in an airplane for maybe 2 minutes. The woman tried to put a robot smock on him. I thought the robots would trick him but he wasn't fooled. He wanted out and fast. Gammy came to the rescue, sitting with Wyatt on her lap, getting hair covered, so I could take pictures and fetch toys. She didn't cut the front at all. Just shaped up the back some and trimmed around his ears. No buzzers involved.

Overall, I think he did great. I guarantee the stylist would say otherwise. He was a moving target a lot of the time, staying still in short spurts. But honestly what would you expect from a toddler.

It is my personal opinion that his cuteness stock has tripled since his haircut. His hair is wavy and thick. Still unruly but shaped, defined. I can't stop looking at him. Ok, so I have always stared at him but he's just so cute! The video below is just us playing around outside. You can see his haircut in action. And I think its hysterical that every time he sees the camera he says "cheese". God, I just can't get enough! He's all grown up.
