He Decided It Was Time
The deal has always been, "Your body, your choice." He started talking about it a few weeks ago, and Dude Jr. decided today that this is the day he wants to have his first haircut ever. He played at a little live-action Assassin's Creed while he waited for Dad to get home, wanted to run it by him one last time before we went ahead, and then we got started. He's very pleased that he has enough left to not be completely bald, and he likes his look a lot. He says he feels like a 'whole new person', he enjoys that his shirts go over his head more easily, and that the new 'do doesn't catch on tree branches. Here's a greatly-condensed 3+-minute version of the buzz in progress, from before to after: Enjoy! :)
