Tennyson's First Haircut

The day Tennyson turned 17-months old was the day of his very first haircut. I kept putting it off because it was just one more step from babyhood to him turning into a little boy.....and I didn't want it to come too soon. But alas, his beautiful blond hair was long and starting to curl, so I had to give in.

We went to the Hair Corral for a quick, cheap cut, and about 15 minutes later we were done. The lady who cut Tennyson's hair was so nice and showed him everything she was going to use before she used it. She also asked if he would be better off sitting on my lap and I agreed that he would be. And he was GREAT!! He actually sat still the whole time and didn't fuss. Tom and I were pleasantly surprised! The lady even bagged some of his beautiful hair and gave us a certificate to commemorate his first haircut! We also got a kick out of all the women that kept leaning around the corner to see our cute little man! (Yes, I am braggin' on him just a bit!) Here are some photos of the "big day!"

"Uh, who are you and what are you doing to my hair?"

The hairdresser gave Tennyson some little trucks to play with.

Oh my, he really looks like a little boy now!
