boomer gets a haricut...

for real this time!! all summer this poor little man has been sweaty-headed, and here we are a full week into fall, and decide it's time to give the kid a break! we went back and forth whether to cut it short and then if so, who should do it. i have always been the designated dahlstrom clipper cutter. but i don't trust myself with the scissors ever since i cut jaxon's ear during his very first haircut as a baby! boomer has the most beautiful hair, but it constantly needs to be tamed. we'll get it wet and comb it out before we leave, but as soon as it hits the carseat, FRIZZ! anyway... back to the point... finally i decided i will be brave and try to give him a cute cut with the clippers AND the scissors. so he can have it short in the back and still long enough on top for mama to run her fingers through. plus, he has been working on those sun-bleached little surfer highlights all summer long, and i couldn't bear to snip those! turns out he was a big boy under all that hair! when did that happen?!
