not so recently...

we went to SD to visit my family back in nov 2010. i was just recently going through all of my pics from my phone and i came across these awesome photos. first off let me explain to you that i once went to hair school so i've always cut my boys' hair. but i thought since all of my nephews needed some haircuts i figured it would be a fun outing! as you can see henry's hair was a long mop.

i love henry's smile here. it's so fake. he hates getting his haircut and i mean HATES. so i promised him a slurpee if he sat really still and did his best not to cry....

there are two funny things here. the first is obvious: henry cannot fake it. i was probably telling him over and over to smile. that was the best he could do. the second is, why, can someone tell me, why my boys who are growing up in the pnw are wearing long sleeves and pants? and their cousins are in short sleeve shirts and shorts?

i'm sure it was warm, it had to be! it's SAN DIEGO for crying out loud. geesh anna.

the after photo of handsome B.

this was of course during the cut. he had tears streaming down his face, but not a peep. not one sound. he didn't even move. he asked a million times if he was done yet. "no not yet henry, you're doing so good though". i just stood close rubbed his leg and wiped his tears. funny what a slurpee can do to a boy. it was the sweetest thing ever. i didn't get an after photo cause he just wanted me to hold him. i love my sweet little brave boy.
