a short-cut

tonight brought a big surprise! all three of our kids are not feeling very well. they have been coughing and had fevers hanging between 102-103. anyways, we were sitting in the living room and out of no where Kael says that he wants a short-cut. (this is what our boys call getting a hair cut). garran and i looked at each other bewildered. our kids hate getting their hair cut. they literally scream through most of it. they hate the hair getting all over them and we have tried everything to make it better, but it has not worked. so you can see why we were shocked when Kael said that he wanted a short cut. when we asked him why he wanted a short cut, he replied " i want to look like daddy and Ollie". Oliver is a friend of theirs that recently had his had shaved due to cancer that he is battling. a large group of friends shaved their heads as well. i guess kael decided better late than never!
he hopped right up in the chair in the kitchen, garran got the clippers and went to town. we stopped half way through because Kael wanted to see the progress. he did not think this picture was as funny as we did. garran and i just thought it was to funny!
here he is with the finished project and after a bath. there are a few places we need to touch up, but for the most part he was all done. after his bath, we were sitting on the couch and kael looked at me and said, "Mom, I love my short-cut!". He then gave me a kiss. He is a cute kid and i love him.
