Mohawk Returns… For Now
Posted in Family by: Alisa
So my friend Victoria came over to cut the boys’ hair today and for sure Max’s hair was the biggie. He’s been asking to go short but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it until today. Truth be told I really want to listen to my kids and let them wear what they want and have their hair the way they want it to be. Sometimes that’s hard though. We all have ideals of what we want our kids to look like. Some people are preppy, some people want their kids to look like princes and princesses, I just happen to subscribe to the surfer/skate look myself. Now I feel like Max looks like everyone else’s kid and not mine. I’ll get over that though. I always do when I let them make their own decisions. The good news is, I still love him.
Speaking of decisions, Tru and Oli only got trims today so we don’t have any before and after shots of them. When Oli jumped in the chiar he told Victoria he wanted all of his hair gone. After having a mild heart attack I asked him if he meant like Daddy (who has a buzz) and he said, “No, I want all of my hair gone.” I took that as proof that he is totally insane and went for my own plan of a trim. Oli doesn’t get as much of a say as the other two do.
Tru is the one that is driving me insane though. We tried to grow his hair out. I thought it would look great shoulder length but his hair grows at a snails pace. We barely got it down to his ears when we gave up. A couple of weeks ago after asking and asking for his hair to be cut like Scott’s we came up with a compromise. We cut his hair like a really long mohawk. This pleased everyone involved. The only problem was he kept asking me to put it up like a mohawk; I don’t like the way his mohawks look when the hair is as long as it was. So today when Victoria came she cut his hair up top so we could put it into a mohawk. Then I catch him playing the Wii pushing his hair down. I call him on it and he says, “I don’t want a mohawk anymore.” It’s been like 20 minutes!!!! The good thing is that even if he wont let me put his hair up again I still like the way it looks when it’s down and I got a picture of it up.
Thanks Victoria!!
