A Big Day

For the past month or so Carver has been having some, well...bad hair days. And when a little boy has a bad hair day there just aren't many options. For weeks (months) Daniel has been hassling me to get Carver's hair cut. But, I love his curls. And once you cut the curls off they are gone forever and all of a sudden you have this much-older looking child and it is just really sad.

Unfortunately, the hair was just getting a little too crazy and I had to give in and get his hair cut. Because it was a momentous occasion we tried to make a fun day out of it. Daniel took a morning off (already momentous), we headed out bright and early for breakfast at Stoney's, then down to Buford for Carver's hair cut at "Whata Cutie Cuts." I know, it's a silly name. But, it is a super kid friendly salon with a large play area filled with toys and these really cute airplanes and fire trucks, etc. for the kids to sit in while getting their hair cut.

Carver was definitely not a fan of the whole experience. He wasn't screaming or crying but he was pushing the stylist away, pulling off his cape, etc. The ladies who worked there were great-- handing out snacks, blowing bubbles, letting Carver hold 12 combs...

Yikes! Crazy hair after bath the night before the big day.

Heading in to the salon.

Getting ready...

Over it...

No, his hair is not normally spiked like this.

Overall, I think he did great and the new look is super cute. I still mourn the loss of his curls, but it's hard to avoid the inevitable.
