First Haircut

I'm finally sitting down to write this weeks post.  The lead up to Christmas is always more hectic then I think it will be.  It may have something to do with the fact that I tend to have big plans for gifts that I will make, and not enough time to make them. (No, I'm not done yet.) I guess I'm a slow learner.

Curls!

Last week we reached a milestone!  Matteo had his first haircut.  We had been holding off on this tradition because he had such beautiful curls.  But, it was either a haircut or a t-shirt that says "I'm Not A Girl!"  We opted for the haircut.  So in keeping with tradition we all went to the salon armed with cameras, cell phones and a set of grandparents.  David who owns Brush here in Healdsburg was a great sport and managed to give Matteo a cute boy haircut without cutting off any ears or loosing a finger.    Not any easy feat considering the squirming that was going on and the family members calling for Matteo to "Look over here. No, look this way.  Smile.  Don't eat that!"

Squirming

Yes we kept a curl (or 10)!  I'm not sure what we are supposed to do with all this hair we HAD to save.  I guess we could make some sort of potion with it when he's older, something like "Pleasant Teen Potion"  or "Helpful High Schooler Potion."  If anyone knows of a recipe, let me know.

My little boy.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
