New Looks

Today was a great day and somewhat bitter sweet at the same time. Took this kids to Cool Cuts for new hair cuts. Well for JP really. Kailee had already refused to cut her hair. She is in this mind set that princesses keep long hair. Plus she hates the idea of not being able to wear her pretty bows anymore. So we get there and I let Kailee go first. She picked the princess station which translates into a regular chair with Barbie decorations and a boa near the mirror area. She picked Care bears as her entertainment and the cutting began. I was advised not to cut her hair chin length for growth. So Kailee got her way and only got a trim. They trimmed up her layers and took all the dead ends off. She was pleased and even got a new bow. And, the lady put a mango moose in her hair and it actually maintained a bit of a wave/curl which tickled her pink. :) Then it came time to detach JP from the train track he had been playing with. That was fun. Luckily they had a fire truck and he ran like I've never seen with two of the trains from the tack in each hand. Justin climbed up, refused the cape and decided on Cars for his entertainment. And, then the cutting began on him. I was super sad. I loved his curls. I know most thought he looked like a girl, but I didn't care. I thought he had the best hair, nice and thick with curls on the ends. Such a cute little boy. She started in the back and the curls immediately disappeared. Then she started on the sides and even more curls went away. I was ok until she got to the top and front. He then transferred into a whole different looking boy. Much older in his appearance and no more curls. He had no baby in him at all anymore. Then she kept cutting and cutting and I finally asked what are you doing? She went a lot shorter than we had discussed. She felt it necessary to achieve the cut. Whatever lady...Anyways he now has a faux hawk which basically means a mo hawk minus the shaved back and sides. He looks adorable if I say so myself but much older than I expected. He for sure will not be mistaken for a girl anymore and I'm still trying to adjust to seeing him without longer hair. Paul loves it and always thought he looked like he had a girls wig on so the shorter the better in his eyes LOL
