After growing his hair out for a year, Luke came home from school yesterday afternoon and told me that he wanted his hair short again. When asked why he said, "Because it keeps getting in my way. Like when I swim, it really slows me down." You would think he was Michael Phelps or something. I remind you, he's nine and the most swimming he does is at the Kroc Center pool.
Anyhoo, what it came down to was that he wanted his cool locks lopped off. Never having cut off that much hair off of anyone before, I must say I had a lot of fun. I went at it with scissors first getting the bulk of the length (and yes, I saved a lock just for me in my jewelry box, I admit it) and then used the clippers to make it look good.
I think he is handsome both ways. He's happy not having it hanging in his face anymore. I'm sure he'll make quite the stir with his classmates today. Boy, that was a lot of hair!
