Hair Cuts All Around!

Owen hates getting his hair cut and always has.  It's a major ordeal and I hate putting him through it. Hate hate hate it!!  (Direct quote from Lightning McQueen in Disney's Cars.  Yes we've watched it so much it randomly pops into my dialogue!!) So we often let his hair get super long and shaggy before we subject him to the torture.  Well shortly after school started...it was torture time.  Between school pictures, a family photo session and a church directory family portrait, we had to bite the bullet.  Here is a before...when I mentioned the haircut he melted down.

And here is the after. All smiles and happy it was over.  So was Momma...though that's not pictured!!  He was a little trooper and broke my heart asking if it was over...and am I done...and begging to get down.  He also said it hurt and he was scared.  Did I say it was torture for him?  Maybe I meant torture for me!!  Talk about no fun!! This smile was all I needed to know it was ok though!!

We also finally bit the bullet and trimmed Cooper's hair.  He was beginning to get wings behind his ears and we just wanted his curls to have some consistency.  If you wet them down and spritz with a tiny bit of gel, they are perfectly and adorably spiral!!  But seriously...the Gene Wilder/Donald Trump comb-over look was starting to wear on me!! 

So here are some photos from his very first hair cut!!!

Before:

During...

He did so amazing!  Not a tear was shed.  Aunt Jackie's color gloves were a good distraction ;) He wasn't a huge fan of it by any means, but it wasn't torturous for him.  Praise the Lord for that!!  It's hard enough putting Owen through it.

All done!!  Not even really noticeable except for to anyone who does his hair!  But it is much better!!

After the haircutting photos were taken...shenanigans started happening.  Aunt Jackie picked out his hair into a puffy fro...and he posed for some pictures with his older bro.

These two...seriously kill me!!  No two faces I love seeing more :)
