So the baby's hair had started to get ridiculously long, and adding that to the huge bald patches he has on the sides and back of his head, he was just looking goofy. Like a half-hearted punk rocker with a faux mohawk. And a rat tail. So I decided to get over the emotionality of the FIRST HAIRCUT and just do it. Like my mom said "It doesn't have to be some big emotional thing." She's right. Document it, and move on. Moms are so wise.
I figured out a few things after this first haircut episode. 1) I am a terrible hairstylist (it's easy to cut too much) and 2) We should cut the baby's hair when he's sleeping, not when he's wide awake, screaming and squirming.
The BEFORE picture. His hair was wet, but that helps you see how long (and mohawk-ish) it was.
The AFTER picture. You can see the huge alligator tear running down his cheek. Why are mom and dad so MEAN???
The remains. Sad little baby hairs.

Those eyes look huge, especially after all the tears came out.
