At first, I thought you were "NOOOOOOOO"ing the missing tooth. Then I noticed the fistful of hair. :(

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

And the scissors in his other hand... D:

[impeccablyme.livejournal.com]

*nods* I noticed the scissors after the hair. :(

What are you going to do?

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

I chopped off the back, and we'll see if we can't get it into a sortof shaggy surfer do. I'm not ready for the prototypical super short little-boy cut. If I can't get it into decent shape I'll try to find a place to get it fixed tomorrow.

I totally cried. It's going to be cute, but I'm going to miss his baby hair! I put it all in a baggie. *snif*

WHAAAA? What prompted this? I have to say that I sort of like it that way he did it.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

It's going to be cute. I'm just kindof in shock. I don't think anything prompted it, other than having scissors in his hand while I was in the shower. I thought he was past the age where this would be an issue.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh and I told him that we'd have to take him to get a real haircut and he started crying because he's SCARED and they use SCISSORS! I was like dude, it doesn't hurt, you just cut your own hair with scissors and then you let me do it.

Honestly, I couldn't have pictured it happening any other way. It will make for a good story later; this is SUCH a Blue thing to do. :P

[impeccablyme.livejournal.com]

Was this an "oops" sort of thing (on his part, I mean) or was he feeling ready for a change?

[artemis-rich.livejournal.com]

Would you like me to even it out for you? Mind you, I'll have to come by sans Arabis, because this is still my biggest fear with her.

[artemis-rich.livejournal.com]

Natalie is right, you know. It couldn't have happened any other way.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

I think it was totally spontaneous, but I also think he's been wanting a change, on and off. I think he's been teased for his long hair at school.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, I like to think I'd have taken him in for a cut eventually--I already had a style saved in my bookmarks--but I don't know how adamant he'd have to be before I would have actually scheduled an appointment.

[impeccablyme.livejournal.com]

Aw, it makes me sad that he may have been teased about it. Aren't we (like, as a society) passed long hair on boys being "a thing" by now?

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

I'm going to work on it tonight and I'll let you know if I need help. Thanks so much.

As I recall, he's been wanting to have short hair for a long time now (long before anyone at this school started teasing him for it).

Guess he took matters into his own hands -- literally! :)

Oh, dear. For what it's worth, the later pics are cute...

[tellinellen.livejournal.com]

he looks so gorgeous in this picture.

i really think in a way it's awesome that he did it himself. there's something so empowered about it, him cutting his own cord, so to speak. i know it was also impulsive, and i'm sure it must have been traumatic for you! but i don't know. it seems kind of poetic.

btw when i saw the email i exclaimed aloud, and then announced to the room (which included my in-laws) what blue had done. within a millisecond caleb responded "i want to do that!" nonononononono! caleb doesn't have as much to spare :)

Hide the scissors!

I was in shock at first, then I started snapping pictures to capture the moment while he still held his hair in his hand, and then I cried. Which of course made him cry, and then he was like, "It's not SUCH a big deal, Mom!"

I knew it would be fine, and I was half amused and half shocked, but I still cried because it was his baby hair.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm liking the general idea, as long as he doesn't insist on a buzz cut.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, yes, he has alternately declared that he wanted it short and that he wanted to grow it to his ankles. If he had been consistent over a few days I probably would have taken him seriously. I think this was almost entirely impulse, but he's happy and it's going to be cute. I guess I'm glad the "when" is over with.

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

It totally is, and when I cried he said "It's not SUCH a big deal, Mom."

[twirlgrrl.livejournal.com]

What he told me (and later retracted) sounded like someone decided to find something to tease him about--if it wasn't the hair I think it would have been something else. I'm not even sure how big a factor that was.

[tellinellen.livejournal.com]

awww!

it is amazing that you got to keep that baby hair on him for so long. you now have quite a good handful to save!!!

the "not such a big deal, mom" comment = so teenagerish!
