A haircut
A while back I had the guts to give haircuts without ANY training. Ironically, I didn't feel comfortable giving boy cuts. I guess I had some vision as to what I wanted for a girls cut, whether it be a shag, a-line, or layers and I would just cut until it looked cute. I just couldn't visualize the same on a male. Now I really don't dare to cut anyone's hair no matter who they are, except for maybe an experiment on Luke. I figured, I could cut it with no style, no shape, and no vision, I mean he's a baby, who cares. If worse came to worse, I could just shave it off and label it a "summer cut". Turns out, it wasn't that bad.
*Tip* put on their favorite DVD that might keep them distracted while you come at them with scissors as big as their head. Note the glassy eyed stare.
Lately he has been closing his eyes before I even take the picture. Maybe the flash is too bright. It was the best shot that showed off his new cut. Exactly as I envisioned, no shape, & no style. But doesn't he make up for it?

You used to cut my hair!!!
And you cut mine as well, ironically my first 'boy cut.' I think it was Whitney's camera that did him in that flash made me want to keep my eyes closed as well. And the no shape no style does indeed look very cute on Luke.
Alysha,
I think you did a fabulous job! Luke is adorable! Great little tip about the movie distraction. I bribed my girls with fruit dip once to give them side-swooped bangs, and well, haircuts and fruit dip should not go together! I am glad to see all your summer projects too! Thanks for all of the great fashion info, I really think you are a genius!
He is perfectly adorable and so is his hair.
LOVE that one of his little teeth showing. okay he isn't a baby anymore, he is a toddler. when did that happen?!?!? such a big boy.
