Hair Cut Anxiety

We're not sure where it comes from, but Evan has THE BEST hair a kid could ask for. We think it was passed on from Uncle Nick, Matthew's brother, who also has perfect hair! Evan's hair is perfectly curly, a beachy blondish color and it always looks good, in my opinion. It hasn't always been curly though. When Evan was born, it was straight as a board. I didn't cut it for a long time, so it was long and (now that I look back at it) kinda scraggly looking. There's a reason why I didn't want to get it cut.

When Spencer was little he had the exact same type of hair, only blonder. It was awesome. Then I got it cut and the curls never came back. Same thing with Maggie. She had sweet little curls, then I got it cut and bam... curls were gone.

So when the time came to cut Evan's hair for the first time, you can imagine my excitement when these bouncy curls sprung up. They have been precious since.

Each time I get it cut I worry. This Tuesday we are both getting our hair cut. His is getting a little too long... I was able to put it in piggy tails today. I sure hope this curls stick around though. His personality is too perfect for curls. I can't picture this little turkey getting into the messes he gets into without a curly mop!
