New 'Do

I've trimmed it a couple of times myself, but we decided that, at long last, it was time to officially tame the Fraz 'fro. Long, wavy. wispy-ness may have been cute for awhile, but it was getting out of hand. Case in point:

And it almost always looked like that. So we were getting comments. Also, we've had a staggering number strangers think throughout the last few months he was a girl regardless of what I dressed him in. I mean, I know he's a beautiful boy...but really? Come on. Therefore, today was the day- Frazier's first haircut!

Since Josh is quite devoted (which, after our excellent experience today, I now totally understand) to his barber shop and barber, and since I don't even have a hairdresser we took him there when Josh got off work today. And Mr. Tim was the best first barber a kid could hope for! Josh had his haircut first and was just finishing up as we walked in so Frazier got to see Dad in the chair and was very intrigued. Then we asked if he was ready for his turn and he shook his head! He pretty much refused to sit in the chair alone, so Josh sat with him and after that he was great! He sat perfectly still the whole time...even when Tim got out the clippers. I took several videos to prove it.

One guy who was waiting to get his hair cut and had been watching Frazier even said, "Looks like he's a real good kid," and we had to agree. :)

Tim saved us some hair in a little envelope which he labeled and dated for us and even gave us a first haircut certificate for Frazier's keepsake box. Then we went about our merry-well groomed-way with a blue raspberry Dum-Dum. Mission happily accomplished!

Handsome, right?
