No, Not Today

I've always cut Caleb's hair using a great electric razor (like the barbers use), and he's never liked it. When Caleb was just a wee little boy I would try to prepare him for his impending hair cut by letting him know that it was coming later that day. His response was always the same. I'd say to him in an excited voice 'Caleb, do you want a hair cut?'. And he'd reply in his sweet little-boy voice, in a matter-of-fact kind of way 'no, not today' as though that would settle the matter. It didn't, but it was sure cute.

Now that the kids are back in school I am required to get up earlier and take them to school. All week I've been consoling myself with the fact that on Saturday I can sleep in. But that's not going to happen. I have an appointment to get my hair cut, which will require me to get up earlier than I want (but at least I'll look good all day with my perfectly coiffed hair). When I recieved the automated reminder call last night the only thing I running through my mind was 'no, not today'.

Why don't you post pictures of your cute new 'do? That would be fun to see...because if you're like me, you can never exactly recreate it, so better document it now, just to show that yes, it really did exist.
And you are brave to cut your son's hair yourself! I've never attempted it.
BTW, your kids are totally super cute to me, have I told you that?

LOL! How cute! I love knowing how much those little things end up throughout your life.
