It's amazing just how a little hair cut can change a person so much. My sweet Benjamin went from being my sweet baby to a toddler yesterday. All because he got his hair cut. I truly feel like I'm mourning the loss of the end of my baby days. (It actually surprises me how much this affected me!) His sweet curls representing all things baby are now gone and we move ahead into toddler days. Nothing really changed in him, it didn't actually make him any older. It's like it just made me see how he is growing, that he's not a baby. His hair really was getting to long, passed his shoulders when wet, I knew that, but oh how cute he was! My husband said it was time, so I lovingly went along with it. In the end, he does look super cute and I'll embrace the fun that's ahead!!
I grabbed a few sweet pictures of his curls the night before.
Here he is with his before shot! We're at my Auntie Bonnie's shop in Fremont. The shop where I've been going since I was a little girl. (It was the day of her 25th anniversary party!!)
He loved the water bottle and being sprayed by Auntie Bon-Bon. He thought she was pretty funny. And he sat their quietly and happily holding the bottle.
He did so well. He loves to have his hair brushed. It's amazing, he can be throwing a little fit after bath and as soon as I comb his hair, he's instantly quiet. (huh, tells you something about that fit, huh!) Notice, he's now holding a hair brush, that kept him happy the second half of the hair cut.
Ta-da! Welcome big boy!! As soon as Benjamin was done, Thomas asked/told Bonnie, "Now I think he needs something out of the cabinet." pointing to the cabinet where the ring pops and mini m&m's were. Thomas proudly walked Benjamin over there and was so excited to get one himself.
