::The Cut::

So now he can see, but he does still have plenty of hair. And he still has his wings which I love so much.
Kris took him to the haircut while I was in class, so afterwards because he was so good Kris took him to Walmart to pick out a "prize" He came home with this ridiculously huge baseball bat.

It's one of those really light ones. You know, I think all of us had one at our house when we were little. I'm not too thrilled about him running around in the house with that thing, but so far he's been fine. For some reason he's very interested in baseball right now which is really weird because neither Kris nor I care about it at all.

I like his haircut. It took me a little bit to get used to it, but now I recognize him (the first couple of days I couldn't pick him out of the crowd when I was picking him up from school). He's not that happy though. He was very upset about it the next morning. Shortly after he woke up he asked me if his hair had grown. Then he reached up and tried to brush his hair down into his eyes. When he couldn't he broke down: "My hair didn't grow!!! Boo Hoo!!"
So we had to comfort him somehow. When we discovered that his hair now looks just like Kelly's (Kris's brother) that really helped. He hasn't complained much since then.

It's just so funny that he's so particular about his hair. I mean, he's not even a little girl! He's just so emotionally attached to it. I do remember crying after haircuts when I was little because I thought I looked ugly though. And Kris is pretty emotionally attached to his long hair. Max must just be a silly combination of the two of us I guess. Makes sense, right?

He's still not as hairy as Sultan though, no matter how hard he tries. Sultan wins every time.

I just keep telling him that it will grow back. What I don't tell him is that when it grows back we'll just cut it again. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

One year, I cut Cam's hair and Charlotte's hair the same bowl cut way - and couldn't tell them apart for two months. Who woulda thought they'd look so much alike?

Then there was that year when Cam wanted a buzz. I cried, of course, but let him have it. And couldn't tell which one was my kid out of his entire primary class - not without stopping to really look.

I still own the wing curls off everybody. Somewhere.

Happy Birthday, birthday girl! How I love you! How we love you!

A million kisses, baby!

Have a very happy birthday, filled with sunshine everywhere. May the year bring joy and gladness and the love of friends who care.

(I had to look at my poster to remember the words.)

Looks much more groomed. That hair is really in style with the skatah kids right now, I even tried to get it a couple of times and failed pretty horribly.

Happy Birthday Ginna! I hope you have a wonderful day! I'm so gald for this blogging thing so I can keep in touch.

And Max's hair looks great! I still can't get over how much he looks like Murphy to me. You and your Mom and certainly Murphy can tell the difference but that is exactly the way I remember Murphy. In my head he looked just like Max at that age.
