Evan's First Haircut

January 10, 2011 · Diane Skarin

When Evan was born with a full head of hair, I was shocked! I was bald when I was born and remained that way until I was about two. And both Bruce and I were blond as kids so I just assumed that Evan would be bald and then blond. Since he was born, Evan’s hair has changed quite a bit. It was very dark at birth and has lighten up quite a bit. While it has started to fill in more, he does have a bald spot in the back from sleeping on his back. Lately the sides have grown so long that I needed to tuck them behind his ears so that he didn’t have wings. This is totally unacceptable…especially for a little boy! So today we gave Evan a little haircut. We didn’t bother taking him somewhere to have it done because there were only a few spots that needed it. Needless to say, it was quite difficult! More difficult than hitting a moving target. Most people probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference but I can and I think it looks much better.
