Bye Bye Curls

For the past year, on a daily basis, I have heard Soren say how much he hates his curls and wants a spike cut.  But because I think that his curls are just way too cute to cut, I have continued to put him off. But because Soren is 4 now and getting to be a big boy, I thought it was time to allow him to choose his own hair style.  (Of course under the condition that he grows his hair out to  my preferred cut again for the fall). So off to Supercuts we went…

And because Bodie has to do everything Soren does. And also because the blackflies are hiding out in Bodie’s hair and eating his face off!…

So I am saying goodbye to the curls for the summer, but come fall, I hope to have my curly-haired little beach dos back!

I must admit, I was strangely sad during this event. I kept saying to myself, “its just hair, it will grow back, why do you care?”.  And I realized that it wasn’t about the hair. Allowing Soren to choose his own hair cut was really an exercise in letting go.  I had to step back and allow him to make his own decision even though I disagreed.  Man, if I am this upset about a hair cut, I sure do hope that I like his wife!
