Anticlimatic

I've been dreading Jack's first haircut. If you can recall, Jack had hardly any hair on his first birthday and there certainly wasn't a curl to it. And as it grew and a few hairs began to curl, it was such as surprise as he follows two very straight haired siblings. The longer it grew, the curlier it got (especially in the back). And the curlier it got, the more comments we would receive. At first it was the acknowledgment of the curls and then came the warning about the dreaded first haircut and how that would certainly be the end of the curls. Well lately the comments have come in the form of referring to Jack as a "she".
So today was the big day. We went to a wonderful little shop geared toward children and Jack hopped right into the car. Kim, the hairdresser, also put a video in and Jack didn't make a peep. In fact, the worst part of the experience was getting him out of the car. As for the haircut, take a look at the pictures. The curls are still there and I'm hopeful that we won't be calling him "Jackie" any time soon.
