I have been promising Michael that I would cut his hair when he was one. I just know that when you cut a little boys hair for the first time they just from baby to Toddler without any permission from their mommas! That is just not fair. So I put it off as long as I could.
I know that he needs a haircut, boys are to have boy haircuts. I know it is time and I CAN do this. So here is our day and my feelings that went with it.
We woke up, ate breakfast and William and I ran to the store. I needed to get hair clippers and other odds and ends. Then we came back and watched the first session of General Conference. It was amazing and I recommend anyone who missed it to watch it. Then the time came. . . .
I set up his high chair in the kitchen, opened the clippers (breathe) and prepared myself for a mountain. Michael set up baby Einstein on his laptop. Then I said a prayer that I could do this with a joyful spirit. I began to shake, (I honestly dont know why it was such a big deal to me, its just my baby) Then I did it. first buzz on the top, I had tears in my eyes but I didnt let them fall. I then had to finish what I had started. I tried to not look at him or I would have busted out in tears. As I continued to cut I watched it hit Michael. Our baby was not a baby anymore. When I was done I loooked at my adorable son. He was now a toddler, he was officially one (to me). Michael then went to give him a shower and I cleaned up his hair. I saved some in a baggie (Yes, I am that weird mom that saves her babies first hair). I cleaned up the rest with a tear in my eye. I knew this was a good thing, but just another step to my son growing up way to fast!

Hes still cute and I think it makes his eyes pop. I will miss my baby, but I really love my toddler just as much.
