Haircut

As promised, here are the photos from Sam's first haircut last weekend at Disney World. After reading about it online, we decided that it would be so perfect to have it done at the barbershop on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom (seriously, who knew that Disney World had a barbershop?!). We went first thing in the morning, to make sure he could be seen (and since that's the time he's in the best mood!).

A wonderful woman named Mary helped us, and you could tell that she had done this a time or two. As she sat him in the chair, she told us not to worry...that she'd "boy him up in a jiffy." She covered him in stickers, which kept him entertained and made him look down at his chest so that she could get to the hair on the back of his head. Since all we really needed was to have the crazy, long, wavy cowlicks above his ears shortened, the whole process only took a few minutes. Sam did great -- no crying!!

You can't really tell from the photos, but this haircut makes him look like a little man. Gone are the long, wispy locks of hair that hung over his ears. Now he looks like a clean-cut, grown up little boy. Every day he gets bigger and older and less babyish. Enjoy the photos below while I go cry a little ;)

This adorable hat is half the reason we drove all the way to Orlando to get his first haircut at Disney World...the back of the hat is embroidered with "My First Haircut."
