double take

taylor has been walking around our house now for a few days looking like a different person. every time i see him i do a little double take. it's taking a little bit of getting used to, but i think he's finally looking like my son again. why? i'll give you a hint....all because he came home from school on wednesday saying, "i'm sick of my hair, it's driving me crazy...". lucky for him, we had "trims" scheduled for that afternoon, only taylor skipped the trim and went straight for a cut instead. somewhere in the middle of the process, we just had to see what taylor looked like with a mullet...ooooo shivers! taylor hated it so bad he didn't even want me to take a photo! ha! like i could resist this photo op! too funny... the end result was a little - ok A LOT shorter than he really wanted it and i think he intends on growing it out just a little, but for now, we'll just call him "baldie" instead of "long haired hooligan", or "goldie locks" to name a few of our favorites. the truth is, i never minded his long hair, because i'm kind of down with that whole inner rebel thing. and really, he's not even a rebel, he is a fantastic kid, no matter how he wears is golden locks....unless of course he decides to wear them in a mullet. i don't know if i could take that kind of inner rebel, i'm pretty sure i'd have to shave his head in the night. love you mr. goodbar, i mean...baldie.

I'm with Kristy...handsome Taylor no matter what the cut! Besides, hair grows back...and he'll be "goldilocks" again before we know it!
