The Haircut

I have been cutting Colton's hair since he was about 4 months old. I know this seems early for most kids, but he was born with a full head of hair and none of it fell out. So at 4 months, I had daddy bring him in to my work to get his first hair cut. Every time I cut it, Brandon tells me just to shave it. I laugh this off and give him the same cut that he always gets.

On fathers day, Brandon kept saying that he was going to cut his hair. I told him that was fine, just not to go too short. Well this went on for some time until I made the joke that he was too chicken to do it. So while I laid down for a few minutes, Brandon took Colton into the living room. Now, I had told him what to do. A 1 (1/8") on the sides and a 4 (1/2") on top. This would take it shorter than I normally do, but it would still leave him some hair.

Suddenly I hear the clippers running in the living room. I didn't worry too much about it at this point, at least until I here Brandon say "go show mommy what daddy did". I sit up as Colton walks in the room with a big smile on his face to show me what daddy had done. I see that Brandon had shaved his head with a 1 all over!

My son is now bald just like his daddy! Oh well, it is only hair and it will grow back, but I think I will stick to cutting Colton's hair from now on.
