Jonah Gets a HAIRCUT

I want to start this off by saying that it was my decision although I believe I was coerced into making this decision by several members of my family. They weren't alone though.. they had a ring leader and it just so happened to be Jonah's father so I was completely out numbered. I've been hearing comments for months like "she's so lovely", "he's got a mullet Jessica.." and "look, his ponytail is longer than mine."

I didn't care about the comments. What really got me was that his hair was constantly in his eyes and I was always brushing it out of his face or wetting it down and combing it to the side so he could see. That was the reason for my decision ultimately. I figured the world is much brighter when seen clearly and not through wispy blonde hairs.

So yesterday, Jonah and I took a trip to my parents house for the afternoon. This is where it all went down.

 Before the cutting starts..I had to pry blankie away so it wouldn't get hair on it

 See what I mean about hair in his eyes...

 It starts.. with A BANG

 Bangs cut, candy cane securely in mouth.

 Layering it up as candy cane juice runs down his chin

 I'm not so sure about this anymore either baby..

 Staying busy stirring things up with his candy cane

 Starting to take shape

 Got rid of the candy cane, too sticky and it was covered in hair

 Making some finishing touches

All done! Mema did do a wonderful job and doesn't she just look beautiful? :) Jonah did great too and squirmed only a little.

I have to admit..I broke down and cried 3 times, only once this morning although I'm getting emotional now. If I could turn back time, I don't think I would have done it. I know it's only hair. It will grow back but it's not the same. He looks like a little boy now and has lost some of that "baby look." He is still gorgeous and he can see clearly now..although the rain is not gone..at least not from my eyes.
