Boston's First Haircut

With very, very few exceptions, hair is not something that grows with abundance on either my or Riley's side of the family. So, it really was no big surprise that it took Boston's quite awhile to get growing. I actually thought he would be at least two before we even needed to start thinking about his first haircut. But he surprised us all. A few weeks ago, the hairs around his ears started to turn into long curls, and a little tuft on top of his head became unmanageable. The combination maked him look like he would fit right in with Cindy Lou Who's family from The Grinch. Since we had waited more than a year and a half for the big day, we decided to make a big deal of his first haircut and found a really cute place to get it done. They had him sit in a noisy race car and had Mickey Mouse playing for him. Even with all of the fun distractions, Boston was super serious the entire time, and tried to look at the stylist whenever she came near him. He wasn't awful, but he definitely wasn't cooperative. Luckily his haircut turned out pretty cute.
