I LOVED Ryan's curls...I thought that they were awesome! It took me a long, long time to actually ponder the idea of a hair cut. I mean..he had ringlets...loved them! :) But, they were getting long...and very tangly. I have been using detangler for a while, and was getting tired of fighting the mess. So, I agreed to get his hair cut. I feel like I have been ready for about 2 weeks. It was still hard though. Part of it was that this means he is growing up and becoming less of a baby. Something I'm sure I will fight his whole life. :) Even though he didn't do very well through the hair cut, it was still a memorable experience.
We took Ryan to a kids salon called Pig Tails and Crew Cuts. It was awesome. I don't think I'll ever pay that much for a hair cut again, but for the first, it was fun. He sat in a fire truck, watched Curious George, had bubbles blown at him and had a lollipop. This place is genious! Here is day:

And then.....
 |
| he was not a fan of the actual hair cut.... |
 |
| made me sad :( |
 |
| even the lollipop didn't help...but he held on tight to it. :) |
 |
they tried bubbles too...they were really great!
|
And when we were done...he lived through it and enjoyed his lollipop :)
Afterwards...we went to our favorite park at Liberty Station in Point Loma..here he is sportin his new hair:
Another milestone: First Haircut on December 2, 2011. I will miss your curls, but I love your new 'big boy' look as well. We love you so much, and are so blessed to be able to experience life with you!
