Hair cut

So from past pictures anyone can see that Matt has a whole lot of hair. The top is more or less straight and the back is curly. I saw his hair last night:



and I decided it was time for a REAL hair cut -- not just a trim. Up until this point he's really only had trims. The last (and only) time we took him to a professional hair cutting place he freaked out the whole time. So to save him the trauma (and to save money) I cut his hair myself.


Before:




After:

He got hair on his face and hands in this pic, so he wasn't very happy.


I think he looks a lot older with the shorter hair, but I really like it. It is a lot easier to manage for now. It will be interesting to see if he continues to have straight hair on the top of his head and curly hair in the back or if it all goes curly.

I thought he was going to be crying during the entire hair cut since that's what he did at the hair cutting place and especially since I was planning to use the buzzer. I figured the loud noise would freak him out but it didn't bother him too bad once he got used to it. He was too busy trying to watch me cut his hair.
