Joel's Haircut

Monday 28th February 2011

Today I decided that it was time for Joel to join the Wieden boys haircut club by having a clipper haircut. Joel detests haircuts and touching his head/ hair at the best of times so as you can imagine he was not happy. At least with the clippers a haircut is quite quick. He does look very different with short hair and I think he misses his hair quite a bit. I felt bad afterwards that he was so sad about losing his hair- a bit like Samson in the bible. It was a bit of a security blanket for Joel and even now he tries to twirl the hair that he has left- there is a small fluffy spot that he plays with now. We kept the hair clippings in an envelope for him as a keepsake which I think he likes. Deep down I think he thinks he is pretty cool looking like daddy and Kaleb- well at least I hope that's what he thinks...

I am not 100% convinced about Joel with such short hair- so we'll see how it grows back and what style we can come up with- maybe a bit longer on the top but with short sides still???
