His hair has been getting out of control little by little and finally started to look like a rats nest in the back. With the weather getting warmer and parties planned we need him to look like we care about his appearance.
For the past 5 months or so I have lost battles every morning to his golden/reddish, straight as an arrow, alfalfa on top hair. The morning ritual consisted of wetting his hair, brushing and then putting lotion (yes baby lotion) in his hair and finishing it off with more combing. Within 10 minutes of this dreaded ritual his hair would be sticking up. We have many fun pictures of this but now that he's 1 it's time to get serious.
This morning we went for our appt with a video camera and photo camera swung across our shoulders ready to conquer crying and sweating (and that was just me). I had specific instructions to leave it a little longer in the front and back, so basically a tiny trim would do. I have had fears of him looking drastically different so I wasn't looking forward to this day much at all.
The experience was great. Daniel was totally preoccupied with the steering wheel of the car and barely noticed anything was being done to him. He does look different, slightly older, wiser and boyish like but I guess every mom goes through this. We were very proud of him.

P.S. A second canine tooth has broken through! Another bad night!
He's adorable! Such the little man. And he obviously loves his wheels. :) Keep up the blogging, Yola! You'll be re-reading entries a year from now and thinking...no way!
