an Alyssa story . . .

Yesterday morning I stayed home with my two little ones (both with ear infections) and once Justin was settled for a nap, and Alyssa in front of a show, I crawled back into bed for a nap. But about a half hour later, an excited Alyssa came running into my room with a pair of scissors and the words many parents have heard over the years "I cut my hair!!". Sure enough, a chunk was missing, but was thankfully just as long as her bangs that have been growing out. So this morning, I got out the scissors and cut off her hair to match the short pieces. She is ecstatic about the new cut, and it will be a lot easier to brush her hair now :)

buzz cut . . .

My little brother had this haircut for most of his young life, and my sisters and I couldn't resist rubbing his freshly cut hair every time. When I took out the electric clippers for Justin last week, he didn't even flinch ~ just kept right on playing with his little toys while I went to work. It's amazing how fresh a new haircut looks, and how much older he looks now . . .
