Personally, I thought Zach's long, gorgeous, corkscrew curls were perfect. However, while in Hawaii, about a dozen people made comments on how cute "she" was, and Corey started sharpening the scissors. I don't find anything wrong with long hair on little boys, as long as it's not shaggy or gross. Both of my brothers had the cutest, sweetest curls for quite awhile.In this next picture, it's a little more out of control, but it's full of a day's sweat and sunscreen.
Anyways, when it's wet and straight, it's pretty long. Since he turned 18 months old today, I conceded that we could give him a little trim.
We turned on Finding Nemo, wetted it down, and I took the scissors and clipped about 1.5 inches all the way around. 
It kind of broke my heart. The part I cut off was the tiny mullet he was born with! I really am not interested in my baby growing up.
It's quite a bit shorter once it is dry. There is still plenty of hair left, but I miss the little corkscrew curls! Plus, I doubt that they'll grow back.
Something funny about it today was that his little cowlick in back did have a puffy spiral curl! It gets curlier when it is wet. I guess it's cute still, but I miss his long baby hair.

Oh man, he does have lovely locks (and I do love longish curles on little boys, as long as it is not gross or snarly). Cutting the hairs always makes me a little sad too as do growing babies. Yet, they are so, so fun as they grow. We miss you guys (though you are not any farther away than you once were and really we didn't see you that often anyway). Any trips to Idaho/Utah this summer? Take care.
Well it could be worse Troy insisted on shaving his boys heads from the beginning and the first time he did it to both of them they looked like cancer patients. I think his hair looks really cute!
His hair was long. I am all for a little boy trim, I'm not that sentimental I guess. But it may the curls that make it harder. My boys didn't have any curls. I know my mom is still sad about my first hair cut as a little girl. I had long long hair with curls on the ends that never came back. So ya, I think it must be the curls that make it hard to trim. Either way he is pretty darling.
Too cute. It was way long when it was wet and combed, but so so cute when curly and dry! Either way, HE is a cutie-patootie. And we'd love to see you both if you have time in Utah :)
