G.I. Declan

it is with mostly excitement (and just a tinge of regret) that i present to you declan's new summer cut!

BEFORE (i mean come on... )

AFTER

THE MANDATORY POST-HAIRCUT PLAY ON THE SLIDE


though his hair has won him more attention and praise since the day he was born than any other aspect of his little self, it started to reach new heights. heights i could not tame, nor did i have the desire to take him to cookie cutters every 4 weeks. that is more than tim goes! his hair was getting really fluffy and high and every day when i'd pick him up from school i'd think how funny his hair looked all ruffled after a long day of playing and neglect. it felt like what once was one of his coolest features was starting to get the best of him and take over!

the thought of a dramatic cut only occurred to me a week ago when i was flipping through a people mag and saw a really cute picture of jerry seinfeld's boys' hair. i forgot the picture the day of the haircut b/c i had a case of the flu and was otherwise detained but i think our michelle did a pretty nice job. below is the picture that started the whole thing (courtesy of people.com).


and a flashback for fun showing his glorious hair, here is declan's debut, just a few minutes into the world in Nov 07... such a beautiful boy!
