Yes, I said FIRST haircut. Andrew’s almost seven and a half years old, and he finally got a major haircut. I’ve trimmed the top and sides to some degree, but never more than a half inch or so. Well, he’s been bugging me for some time now about cutting it. We were supposed to do it when we were at my mom’s for Christmas, but I started crying just as she was getting ready to cut it, and he wouldn’t go through with it. She’s here visiting us now and we promised she’d do it while she was here.
So last night we decided to get it over with it. I promised myself I would not cry. And I almost made it. :) Ok, I didn’t cry until after it was done. And I tried to wait until he went to bed, but I didn’t make it. I explained to him though that I just liked it long, but since he was happy with the hair cut, that’s all that mattered. Anyway, here it is.
It’s like my baby grew up over night. Now people might actually start guessing him closer to his age of seven than four or five. Sigh. I took him to school this morning and the reaction of teachers and students was so positive the child is absolutely glowing. I can learn to live with this. I can. :(
My Andy Robert Paul! I love it! You look so grown up. Stop that!

Wow, this was harder than I thought it would be. He always thought of himself as a Biblical character and had not wanted it cut. Of course his mama loved his beautiful long curls so much that every year she put off the first haircut the harder the decision became. Well, he decided he wanted it cut “like a boy” so the decision was made. Since I have always done the first haircuts in this family we decided it had to be done while I was here visiting. Last night we did it and I must admit that cutting his long beautiful curls was a bit overwhelming at first. It was hard not to cry after I made that first cut and saw what I was holding in my hand. But he sure makes a very handsome young man. I will admit that cutting the hair took away some of the remaining baby look and has made him look a little more grown up. So, what do ya’ll think of Nana’s handy work? I’m pretty proud of myself and of him. :-)
He’s a very handsome kid! He looks great. :)
We’ve cut my son’s hair once – and I did cry. My husband took him to the place and took a couple of pictures for me and then brought him to the restaurant where I was having lunch with friends. I cried in the restaurant! It’s always hard I think.

I can’t believe the difference in him. He doesn’t look like a little boy anymore. He looks all grown up. I don’t think I’m ready for this. Even his face looks thinner. All the baby fat is gone. of course he looks GREAT. But where’s ny BABY BOY.
BOUT DAMN TIME!!!
I’m going to send him his first six pack for xmas this year.
Andrew looks so handsome with his new haircut! It’s a big step, and it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions seeing your little one grow up. Cherish these milestones—they mark beautiful moments of growth and change. Enjoy this new look!
