first hair cut!

We did it. We gave in and got Lincoln his first cut. I was pretty sad at first because I loved his  long, luscious locks of silky, golden hair, but he was starting to look a little crazy. Still cute, but crazy. He didn't pull of the shag as well as we had hoped. When he would get out of the tub, his hair was all cute and curly, but the curls went away and it was just crazy after that. 

Here are a few recent pictures of the shag. Because his hair is so blonde, you can't quite get the full effect, but just trust me, it was long. He was getting close to a full-on mullet in the back, too.

We took Lincoln to a place called Cookie Cutters, which is a hair cut place just for kids. I think it was worth the extra couple of bucks. They have a little playland, a TV screen at each station for movies, fun chairs to sit in, and balloons. Lincoln was totally entertained and he did awesome! 

 Before:

 Lincoln was so thrilled that we let him play on the little playland (despite my hesitation because it's germ-infested and it's wintertime). He was just shrieking with delight.

Can't you see the joy on his face? He was sooo excited. Here he is climbing the steps.

Sliding down the slide. He did do it on his own a couple of times but Derick is holding him still for the picture.

Staticky long hair.

Ok, sorry. Now back to the haircut. Here is Lincoln in his awesome airplane chair. He loved turning the wheel.

The stylist couldn't believe how long and thick his hair was for being blonde.

Look at those locks! *tear* I think she took off like 4 inches in some places.

Watching a movie.

Lincoln was so good. He held so still most of the time.

What a handsome dude!!! We just love his new hair. It has opened up his face so much and his cheeks look chunkier and even more kissable!

Playing with his prized balloon.

I can't wait to get the fohawk and some spikes going on. It was too late (bedtime) when we got home last night. 

Love it!
