He cut his hair!

For awhile now I knew Nate needed a haircut. It was getting really long, but I think he could pull off almost any style.  I took the kids to get a haircut and Nate was throwing a fit.  He said he did not want anyone to get near him with a pair of scissors.  I told him his grandmother was coming and it would be great if he got his hair trimmed.  When we arrived Nate's hair was like this:

When we got there he looked through the books with many different hair styles. He picked a lot of styles that are for people with thick hair (Nate, Julianne, and I have thin hair).  Finally he picked out a picture he wanted his hair to look like.  Honestly my heart dropped!  While I wanted his hair cut, I still surprise myself that I like it longer.  He told me he thought his grandmother would like the one he picked.  She he got his hair cut like this:

I think it looks good, but I was sad to see his long hair covering the floor.  I knew Charles would be happy, He has been saying Nate needed a haircut for a long time, but he surprised me.  He told Nate he like his hair, but thought he looked good with the longer hair.  The one thing about short hair that I like is that it is easy to wash, but the one thing that drives me crazy is that it takes more work.  My boys have a cowlick at the back of their head that needs to be brushed just so and then sprayed with hairspray so it will cooperate.  For now...I can see his beautiful blue eyes!
