We decided to kick it old school, and do it ourselves. I fondly remember my cousin cutting my hair in my aunt's backyard when I was young. Warm summer evenings on the stool repeatedly being told to quit squirming. Sorry Jori... (apparently I still haven't learned how to sit still) I know it's not quite the same, but the concept is. Before anyone asks...NO! We didn't keep any of the old curly dead hair that fell to the ground. I know a few of you are freaking out about this, but sorry we think it's weird. (: It's hard to believe his jerry curl measured in at a whopping 10 inches at its longest point. You certainly would've never guessed it was that long by looking at it. It honestly would've made Lionel Ritchie jealous. And if did start to get out of control you just had to dampen it lightly, and watch it magically spring form tightly back to his head. Jenny got out the scissors today ready to "trim" after a week of discussion regarding this hair cut. I thought it was time for him to have a man-do...perhaps a mohawk or a brushcut. (kicking it military style) Jenny wouldn't have any of this. We were just doing a "trim" because his curls are his "major selling feature" according to her. What is he selling? C'mon, is it really possible that no-one would love and enjoy our adorable little man if the curls got chopped off? I seriously doubt that! Anywho, Jenny won! I hear your cheers ladies. So not cool! haha So the deed is done, and you can now scroll down to see the cutting, and the crying. Just kidding...he was a superstar, and actually really enjoyed it. Maybe he just liked the attention, or the combs, but either way it was smooth sailing. Now before you look, note that in one image he has a Eugene Levy helmet hair sort of thing going on. We're hoping it was just a bad camera angle... (;
Enjoy!

Before...as you can see it was getting a tad chaotic. The more he'd play, the more the fro would grow.
Getting ready for the first cut.
Ahhh there it is...went as smooth as butter.
I told you it was long. Jenny is now pro by the way, and is offering $10 haircuts. Come one, come all. (:
Like every item in his hand, the comb quickly became a laser, and Gavin was transformed into... Iron Man.
The NEW do! Perhaps not too sure if he liked what just happened?
Gavin is the "king of comfortable." He makes everything look like a big comfy lounger.
Ok he loves his hair, and the comb too. Now carefully examine the right image, and please tell me Jenny didn't give my son helmet hair??
Don't you just wanna hug & kiss him?
