Eli the barber

I was in the shower and kevin was 10 feet away with Ruza. I guess it seemed like a good idea to give the boy scissors, paper, and his blessing to go to town. Both paper and hair were cut. Kevin said that Eli ran right over to the mirror to look and messed his hair about, as if to give it's final styling. Actually, it doesn't look so bad, and I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I did the same thing just before picture day in kindergarten. My mom had to cut my bangs really short just to even it out. I looked a little goofy, but my love affair with baby bangs was born. Maybe he'll fall in love with tufts of uneven hair sticking up in back. For now it's cute anyway, and serves as a reminder of my little boy's curiosity and growth.
