Eric's "scruncity" new hairdo

Saturday I gave Eric his first haircut. I've never given a real haircut to anyone before, just trims, so I was kinda nervous. But Eric needed one badly, so I finally got the courage to just do it. He went from this:




To this:




Then this:



And finally this:



What a cute little punk!

When I had finished cutting I stepped back to see how it looked and I unexpectedly got a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. My baby boy looked so big and grown up.

We spiked his hair for fun. When Rylee saw him she said "Ohhhhh, Mom, he looks so scruncity." She makes up her own words whenever her vocabulary fails her. I'm not sure if "scruncity" is a good thing or bad?!?

Wow, it is amazing how grown up it makes them look to loose the little baby wispy hair. What a cutie! Totally understand the vocabulary thing. Anna still makes up words. Sometimes she'll say one shes made up and ask me what it means.

Scruncity is a good word Mom. Yes the hair cut changes them into little boys - there goes the baby, boo-whoo. What a doll.
