Collyn's First Hair Cut

I can't believe it. It's happened. My baby boy is officially a little boy. Whenever a little boy gets his first hair cut, it instantly makes him years older. I swear he is acting older and doing older boy things. Makes me want to tear up just thinking about it.

We are blessed to have a man, Ron, in our church congregation who is a retired barber. We love to have someone special to us do our boys first cuts because it is a big event. He still has his barber chair in his garage and we went to his house one afternoon to get it cut.

Alden went first which encouraged Collyn to get his cut. Alden, of course, did an amazing job. Not his first rodeo. He sat like a big boy and everything. He only complained that the hair was itchy on his neck, so Ron gave him the "magic wand" to brush the hair off wherever it was itchy.

Once it was Collyn's turn, we decided he would sit on my lap to make him more comfortable. Of course, he saw Alden holding the "magic wand" so he HAD to have it. It kept him occupied for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes he was bored and wiggly. We played the game, 'Throw the lip gloss on the ground and mommy picks it up'. I rarely let him do that game because it annoys me, but desperate times call for desperate measures. ;) ;)

While each boy was getting his hair cut, the other was able to play in Rons jeep. That was a highlight of their night.
