I've been buzzing my boy's heads for years now. Usually in the driveway or in the bathtub if it's cold outside. So this morning, just like I have many times before, I stripped Calvin down and stood him in the tub. Plugged the trimmers in, cleaned them off, and vroom, made a strip just right of center, down his head. OH MY WORD!!!!! I forgot to put a guard on!!!
I just stood there. I couldn't figure out whether to laugh or cry. After a few moments I chose laugh, it is after all just hair (and a 4 year old who doesn't know the difference between good hair and bad hair).
So here were the results.
My 2 choices were...
1. Go ahead and shave him bald
2. Offer a mohawk
As a sidenote let me say this. I'm not a fan of mohawks on children. It's one thing if the child really wants one and it's the kids idea. But when parents give their small child a mohawk it makes me think the child is just a pawn in the "I'm a Cool Parent" game. *stepping off soapbox now*
So Calvin chose a mohawk. Feeling I'd done enough harm at this point I loaded the kids in the car and went to someone slightly more professional than I. Thank you Super Cuts.
Here's the after.
It's a good thing this child of mine is so cute. Maybe that will make up for the fact that his mother is losing it.

So glad you got a picture. And I'm glad it happened AFTER our family photo time. :)
HAHA, that is funny. I think I would have cried! Good thing you already had those family pictures made. HA!! :) Which, by the way, are fabulous!!!
Wow, you are obviously the coolest mom ever now that your kid has a mohawk! I'm cutting Nate's hair tonight...dare I? Nope, not cool enough. = )
Absolutely hilarious! He looks too cool! :)
Totally giggling over here! I think the mohawk is cute on Cal. :)
