barber shop blues

- beckett's 1st haircut -

i absolutely LOVE beckett's long hair, so you may wonder why we {or i } chose to have his hair cut...well, that's a really good question! i also love photographing memories and milestones. his hair was in need of a little trimming and while we know an awesome hairdresser {martha, we love you} i selfishly wanted to do the traditional barber shop thing. this post is rather humbling but a lesson well learned...i hate having my own hair cut. i agonize over it before and mostly during. so i carefully shared with the young man what i wanted for beckett's hair...long still, trim the ends, so he could see a little better...well, i'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

he did a great job sitting still

he's not even sure about it

well, there you have it. beckett's locks are gone! i'm still not okay with it, but i have to let it go and remind myself that hair grows back. but, boy do i miss my little boy's long hair.
