Haircut Day!

First Haircut
We decided that 18 months would be a good age for Asher to get his first proper haircut. I say "proper" because the truth is, I've trimmed his bangs so he could see twice. But this was the big haircut. The one where you save the hair in a little Ziploc (my, I use these a lot!) baggie for who knows what purpose.

So, last Saturday morning

brava! They went from babies to boys- well I guess Asher did, and Lucas went from little boy to big boy. Amazing what a haircut can do. They look great! Nice job!

[sarabellae]

Thank you! I have always cut Lucas's hair, except once or twice. For the last several years, though, he has wanted it long, so I've only given trims. I felt scared and out of practice. Also, I was scared that Asher's straight hair would show all the flaws of my amateur barbering skills. But, I think they both turned out OK.

Good job Team Wilson!! Please tell Lucas I love his new cut ;)

Why the switch to LJ scrapbook? I only ask because I enjoy favoriting some of your pics.

[sarabellae]

Thanks!
Did I switch? Usually I post photos here and on Flickr. I just don't usually manage to do it on the same day.

You've got mad skillz

Very cool that you've captured the moment forever.

Thank you. Really, I've got a penny-pinching streak. Who wants to pay for regular haircuts for two boys! Not me. I want to save all those pennies for my salon cuts!

Ha! That last picture of you and Asher totally made me laugh. The boys look great! And your hands look so deft and gentle.

you keep the hair for cloning purposes of course.
