Joe's Hair

We always get comments on Joe's hair. People are always saying his curls are so cute, etc. It is funny because Joe has now become aware of his hair. When people talk about his hair he gets embarrased and covers as much of his head and face into his arms as possible. He is also aware that there are less people out there with curly hair than straight, and so when he sees another kid with curls, he is quick to point them out. I find it all very funny.

Due to the fact that we all love his locks, they haven't been cut in forever! Joe's Aunt Meagan gave him a trim in January, and then Grandma Jane gave him an even smaller trim about 2 months ago. That has been it, but now it is getting to this length where it is always in Joe's eyes and it looks sort of bushy. I have to tame it with hair products, and Joe really doesn't like that!

SO, we took Joe to his first visit to the hairdresser (other than his Aunt Meagan) on Saturday and we gave him a little trim--actually about 1 inch! I love it and think it looks better, but we already have gotten the comments at church about how sad it is that his hair got cut! He's still got plenty, however!

    I love the haircut. I think it's awesome. My older boys want to grow their hair out so bad but it's not a pretty site. They each have way too many cowlicks to make it work. Oh well.

    For what it's worth, I think Joe's haircut looks great! Still lots of curls, not so much of an unkempt bush. Tell him I think he looks very handsome!
