New Haircut

It was definitely time for a trim...and being broke and cheap, I decided of course that it would be best to try to cut Justus' hair ourselves. (Mom, now I finally know why you did it to us!) His hair was long and luscious and I loved it, but it was always getting in his eyes and I felt bad. So I suggested to Trav that we try to cut it with hair clippers, on the longest setting. It started off looking pretty good, until we got to the front. The first swipe of the clippers across his bangs cut them back to almost nothing! I freaked out but there was no turning back at that point. So......this was the end result. I affectionately referred to it as the "Julie Andrews" (note the similarities!). Honestly, I couldn't even look at Justus at first. I felt so bad that we had cut off all his cute hair! But after he showered and we did a little styling...
...it actually turned out to be a really cute haircut on him! And at least it shouldn't be in his eyes for awhile!
(Just in case you think he's not happy about the new do, he is...this happens to be his new "say cheese" face!)

He looks adorable.

And just so you feel a bit better... the first time I tried a shorter cut on Grey, I cut his ear!

It still makes me shudder.

You are a hilarious, and fabulous mom. He looks really different with it cut. I always feel that way about James after we cut his too. You could always come here to get his haircut- a whooping $.75! To think I used to pay $17! One time Nicky had a haircut like Rod Stewart- I'd rather look like Julie Andrews!
