Porter's Curls

Porter got his first haircut. It has been a long time coming and I finally bit the bullet and took him in. The cute curls turned to curly cues then turned to long straggly curls then just turned straggly. When it was curly it was cute and when it was frizzy it was Frizzy! I dropped Eli off with Evan and Porter sat with me while we waited our turn at the barber shop on base.

He did really good sitting in the chair and eating his snack. He was mostly concerned with his snack. She gave him the water bottle to play with and he really just wanted to eat his snack. When she got out the clippers at the end she let him touch them. Each little clip she made, he would get a little nervous. So she let him touch the clippers again after each small clip. He got the hang of it after a couple times. His curls are still there and are even cuter now that they are under control. But just like most moms say after a first haircut, there is no longer any 'baby' there. Even though he's a toddler, he still had a little 'baby' look. Not anymore, he's on his way to being a big boy.
