Haircuts

Two weeks ago M noticed his scalp was sensitive.  We had been told by several people that it was a sign that his hair would fall out soon.  The next morning in the shower it started to come out, a lot!  During the day C was playing with him and pulled out a handful of hair.  It was a little alarming and funny.  When B-man got home from school we let all the kids pull out a handful of hair, and then they all took turns buzzing M's head.  They thought it was really exciting.  Then they all got haircuts.  B-man took the razor to his own head.  He had been the most reluctant, but being able to shave his own head turned out to be very enticing.  We also promised ice cream to anyone with a buzz cut. It was quite the party that night.

Love these buzzed heads!

 Originally M had a buzz down to a "1" but even though that is very short hair, loosing the rest of it was pretty annoying, and it looked a little strange.  Before church on Sunday that week he shaved the rest of it off, so that it would look a little better.  The only problem was that he nicked himself on the back of the head.  We both thought it had stopped bleeding, but about five people told him that he was bleeding.  He figured it was only a tiny scab.  When he got home I freaked out because there was a lot of dried blood on the back of his head.  I am sure the people who saw it were horrified.  A warm rag cleaned it up considerably.

Getting patchy...
