sam's 1st haircut

Sam was pretty bald as a baby and his hair grew very slowly. Here he is at a year old..still pretty hairless!

So until recently he had never had his hair cut. He had the cutest little curls along his back hairline. They were especially cute when they would dry after a hair washing. But after a while they started looking a little crazy...after a nap they were out of control...long wispy hairs that stuck out from around his head. Plus the front of Sam's hair is still pretty short...so his hairdo could have been referred to as a mullet! :(

I finally got to the point where I felt like his hair wasn't presentable unless he was straight from the tub. And after his sitter's comment that Sam's hair reminded her of some of the men she would see walking to the synagogue on her street in New York ( which cracked us up!!), I finally decided it was time to let go of that little piece of the the baby he still is in my eyes. So, Jon and I took Sam to a place thats specifically for children's haircuts. Sam was immediately excited by the cool "chairs" and chose the airplane to sit in. To make it even more exciting the television at his station was showing his B.F.F., Thomas! Sam climbed right up and did GREAT during the cut. We were very proud of him and he loves his haircut, which he still talks about over a month later! "You like my haircut?"

This last one is my favorite! Look at his proud smile..what a big boy!
