Blurred Thought

First haircut

Today we gave our son his first haircut. It was hard, it was emotional, it was strange, it was exciting, it was difficult. He didn't mind, we were heartbroken. He looks so different now, turned from a little baby to a child in a matter of minutes.

This was not the first time we tried. Two weeks ago we took him to a hairdresser but our little president refused to sit at his chair. The hairdresser suggested doing my hair before my son's so he would get used to the idea and will not fear it as much. We agreed. Since he didn’t have time at moment, we set an appointment to do it a few days later. The days passed and at the last moment we cancelled, I don't know why - It just didn't feel right.

Today we took a pair of scissors and while my wife occupied him with games and play, I started cutting his hair. I've never cut anyone's hair before in my life. I can actually qualify as the worst barber in the world. But we saw no other choice. The final outcome is well... how would I say, not as bad as I expected, but nothing anyone can be proud of. Later I corrected it a little and he looks pretty cute.

I will have to get used to his new look. It’s probably going to take some time, but I don’t know if I’ll ever stop missing his amazing soft curly hair.
