Almost two weeks ago I decided Ace needed a little "trim"...So when Brent left to play basketball, Ace and I headed back to our bathroom. He patiently sat as I trimmed around his eyes, ears, and neck. When I finished, I realized I had a very steady hand and his hair was PERFECT...to the point where it looked like I placed a mold on his head and cut around it. So, I tried to add some "texture"...that didn't work, so I put a guard on the clipper...that didn't work either, so I went to the next size of guard...and below is what we ended up with! HA!
When I first realized that he was going to need a buzz cut to "fix" what I had done...my eyes filled with tears! Was this haircut going to make him look more grown up? More like the big boy he is? UFF! Then Finley walked into the bathroom and gasped...she and I got the giggles and the tears flowed down my cheeks! He stared at me the whole time with those big brown eyes, clueless to what had just happened! After all was said and done...and after we cleaned up the huge pile of hair on the bathroom floor...he looked in the mirror and just grinned! He loved it!
When Brent got home he said, "JENNIFER...what did YOU do?!?!"
It took a good week to get used to Ace with a buzz cut...and for me to accept that he is going to grow big with or without a mop of hair on his head! :)
