The haircut...

Anyone who knows me, will know I am not a fan of hairdressers, I have a real avoidance to haircuts, and love the longer, natural some would say scruffy, looking hair.

I wrote about my boys hair styles in the bloggers carnival 'boys have long hair too!'  if you read that post you will of seen that I said that no matter how much I love the longer hair, and how much I try to avoid the hairdressers, if my boys asked for a haircut I wouldn't stop them.

My youngest has the most beautiful blond hair, which grows fast and when he asks for a hair cut, we normally trim it abit but leave it fairly long, but as it reaches his shoulders and starts to look progressively 'longer' the 'girl' comments increase.

 Although these don't bother him as such, you can see him thinking differently about his hair each time someone says 'aww isn't SHE pretty' hes 5 and not quite decided on what he wants for himself and confident enough to stick to his reasoning, hes still happy to experiment in abit of this and abit of that, so when we were at my mums house and her mobile hairdresser was around my mum asked him if he'd like a haircut, he agreed and was eager to have his hair 'short' so with my heart in my mouth, I agreed to let him have it cut short.

Now I won't pretend I love it, I will always prefer the longer hair, but I can't force Mikey to feel the same, and I have to allow him to try whatever hair style he wants.  I will just secretly hope he eventually decides on the longer hair, like his older bother who even when asked refuses a haircut.
