Mason's new "do"

This little guy has a new look...

Well, he still has that ornery look...nothing's changed there....


But obviously, as you can tell from this picture, he is in need of a new hair-do.

I KNEW he needed a haircut, but it's crazy how fast it sneaks up on you. Just this week I've been noticing it was getting pretty long again. But with a week as busy as this one, I didn't notice how bad it REALLY was, until we got to church. Being dressed all cute made his shaggy hair a little more noticeable...or A LOT!

We got told he looked like a girl. (haha, I know it was a joke...but obviously, we're not gonna wait another day after that!)

I just wanted to trim it with scissors again. Like last time...just a trim around the ears, in the back and his bangs.

(here's the before picture)

Daddy had other plans....that included a buzzer.

I fought and fought, but lost this time.

Do you see all that hair!??!?! That beautiful head of hair....just being buzzed right off!!

While Mason is being lulled to sleep with the feeling of the buzzer over his head, I just started laughing....you know, that laugh you do when you can't believe what you're doing....a nervous laugh, because I didn't know what else to do or say...I just laughed and kept snapping pictures.

I was laughing so hard, my eyes began to water and KEPT watering. Until it was no longer a laugh. They were REAL tears! Dave didn't know if I was laughing or crying.....I didn't know either. But the tears kept coming, and slowly as more and more hair was being buzzed off, the laughing stopped.

Just tears....from Mommy AND Mason.

That's right....NO ONE asked him how he felt about getting rid of his gorgeous hair and when he realized what happened, he was NOT happy!

Do you see this look of utter shock!??!

He lost SOOO much hair...


Here's the after...

I almost couldn't even take pictures as I just looked at him in pure shock.

He looks SO different. He looks SO much older.

He does look like he's ready for summer though, huh?

It's growing on me. Dave admits he even shocked himself when he really started buzzing off those long locks!

All in all, Daddy likes it, Mommy had a rough time, but is semi-okay now, Taylor likes it, and well, here is how Mason feels about it...

(these pictures aren't completely depicting this story correctly....although he did get a little upset towards the end of the cut, that was because he was ready to get down, not because his hair was gone....he really had no clue and still has no clue what happened. He could care less. But I thought his cute little expressions would make for more of a dramatic story.)
