Isaac's Trademark...Gone

Since the moment he entered this world, Isaac's trademark has been his hair. It was long and thick and out-of-control right from the start. Throughout his stay in the hospital all the nurses would tease about putting bows in it because it was so long. Everywhere we go - the mall, the movie, the zoo, the pediatrician, the photographer, church, family reunions - people comment on Isaac's outstanding (literally) hair. Several people have hinted, some not so subtly, that it was time to tame his locks. I resisted because it would make him seem older. That was the way he came! However, I knew I couldn't hold out forever. So this weekend when my mom was here I had her do the deed. Isaac's trademark hair is now just a lock of a memory taped into his baby book.

This is a good 'before' shot so you can see just how manly his mullet had become.
This is how he felt about getting rid of his famous do that he had worked so hard growing and grooming. I must confess that I, too, shed a few tears of my own (sniffle, sniffle.)

Here's an 'after' shot from the back. Yikes! It's gone!

And here's an 'after' shot from the front. Nope, I didn't let them take any off the top. While we bid farewell to the mullet, we are holding on to the mohawk for a bit longer. And as you can see, he survived the whole ordeal just fine.
