Buddy's 1st Haircut

After a month or two of bugging Daddy, he finally broke down and agreed that Buddy needed to get his hair cut.  We had a trip planned to Grandma and Grandpa's house this weekend, so Daddy said that when we got back, we would go get Buddy's first hair cut.  I think he wanted to show Grandma and Grandpa how long Buddy's hair was getting.  Coincidentally, Derek's aunt emailed us and asked us if we would like her to cut Buddy's hair while we were in town.  We thought it was a great idea and very special because Derek's aunt gave Daddy his first haircut some thirty years ago (she used to be a hair stylist). 

I forgot to get a good picture of his long hair with the beautiful curls before we started, but this shows the length of his hair mullet.

Here's a picture from April that shows his long hair.

Anyway, Buddy did so well during his haircut.  He was happy to play with the squirt bottle and his animals.  When he was bored with those, he chomped on a sucker (and a crayon). 

The cape came off halfway through so Buddy could use his hands.

 

 

Look!  There's still a little curl!

I had prepared myself for a big change, but I really think he still looks like the same old Buddy.  I am glad we kept it a little longer, I am not ready for Buddy to grow up too fast! 

And just to keep things fair, Punky had to get her (2nd ever) haircut too... I think she just wanted the candy. 

Thanks so much, Auntie Traci!  We love our new hair cuts!
