We cut his hair!
brancam
boy. I actually cried while Terry cut his hair. He used the clippers, so
Bran now has a little buzz cut. It's been a little hard for me to get used
to...he doesn't look like the same child. Anyone else ever experience a
little sadness after their child's first haircut?

between cuts...the curls come back and he looks like my little baby
again. Then I go and get it cut, and he turns back into my little boy
again.

years of age). Guess which one got all the gorgeous curls??? Well, I, too
had my son's beautiful curls cut off and boy did it make me wistful. They
really do look different after being "sheared". We have been so busy
recently that I haven't gotten him in for his haircut and the curls are
growing back. But, alas, tomorrow he will be getting his long-overdue cut
and will once again look like my grown-up boy.

did!
We cut his hair first when he was 4 mos, if was 4 inches long, black and curly-
looked like a girl- so he got a buzz cut/army cut. At 6 mos had the long hair
aain, buzzed, at 10 mos we did a bowl cut- and now at a year he's buzzed again.
Both of our moms flipped, said he was too young. BUT I can't even imagine how
long his hair woudl have been if we left it till a year like everyone told us.
Russ' mom actually called Russ and asked why he let my do "such a heinous
act."
I think I would have been more upset had people not kept calling him a girl.
But then again- we were out yesterday, and his hair is still pretty short- and
they called him a girl. He was wearing overalls with a train chugging across
his little butt and a engineer's hat with hiking boots- in no way did it even
mumble "girl"
So I guess next time I'm going to take him out nude s they see the "boy" in
him. Any one have that problem? I admit he would be a beautfiul girl.
black/very curly hair, big blue eyes, long lashes- but he's not! LOL. Maybe I
houldn't get so offended when they say "oh what's her name, she's so pretty"

Ryan didn't get his first haircut until he was 2. {Before that there was
nothing there to cut!} My DH had surprised me by taking Ryan out to get it
done & I cried. My little baby was gone! He brought me home the hair to
save. Sarah has allot more hair than Ryan ever did. It is in her eyes so I
tried to trim it yesterday, she kept moving & there was nothing really to
save from her first trim :-( any tips on getting a 17 & a half old to stay
still?

haircut. Long blonde curls halfway down their backs.
Fortunately, by then, I'm so fed up with combing the tangles it's more of a
relief than anything.

without a problem =-)

darling son's hair? LOL! Don't feel bad, Mel. I am quite sure if you
hadn't trimmed his hair, they'd be complaining that you're making your
son out to be some kind of long-haired hippie or something. Sometimes
you just can't win (especially with grandmothers).
That's too funny about people calling your son a girl, even when he's so
obviously dressed like a boy. I don't think people look sometimes. I
remember people calling my girls a boy when they were dressed in pink
dresses?!
Whenever I see a cute kid I want to comment about, I always slow down
when it's time to say either boy or girl and look at the mother. She
will usually fill in the blank for me so I don't accidentally get it
wrong. If she doesn't, I quickly ask (even if it seems obvious - I
think it's better to ask than to get it wrong). Most Moms seem to
appreciate this as a number of them have immediately followed by
striking up a conversation about how people will blurt out the wrong
gender name. I have also found it helpful to ask, "What's your baby's
name?" which will sometimes clue me in on the baby's gender. If all
else fails, there's always the generic, "Oh, you have such a cute baby!"
comment which is ALWAYS safe! Almost every time the mother will reply
by saying, "S/He... " which gives me the true answer for certain.
It never bothered me much if someone called my daughters a boy when they
were little because I figured it was more the other person's problem
than it was mine or my girls'. But since I know it's a sensitive area
for many Moms, I try my best to not get it wrong. Even though I try so
hard, every now and then I still mess up. I feel like a total jerk when
I do.
Take Care!
