Alex got an impromptu haircut tonight. We went with Daddy when he was getting his done and he and the hairdressers ganged up and persuaded Mummy it should be done. I had been wanting to trim it, it was certainly getting long and rather mullety at the back, but hadn't quite mentally prepared for it yet.
I sat him on my lap while the hairdresser went at him with clippers. He wondered what was going on and squirmed quite and bit. He's not the only one. I sat wincing as I watched my beautiful baby boy's beautiful baby hair fall to the ground! He got upset towards the end so it's not a great cut - if he were an adult you would ask for your money back, but it's not so bad he looks like a scabies victim! - but who'll notice? It's cute but he does look very different and I barely recognise my own baby. He looks more Chinese now, he has the same hair and look as every little Chinese boy you see. When we go to Chinese restaurants I'll have to be careful not to walk off with the wrong kid!!
He doesn't look so happy here but I don't think it's because of the hair!
