To Cut His Hair or Not

The past two weeks I have had random people come up to me and say :
"Wow you have such a pretty little girl"


"When are you going to cut his hair" (random old guy in Sam's-who did not have a strand of hair on his head...I think he was jealous)


"Wow I love the curls in the back, but he looks like a girl"


All from three different people at three different times:

So I have a dilemma. Kyle thinks it is too long and we need to cut it. I think it is so cute and I don't want to get rid of the curls. But on the other hand I am tired of all the comments from strangers about his hair. I am nervous because sometimes when baby boys get their hair cut they look like old men and they look like toddlers and not baby's. I guess I don't want to let go of the baby years just yet. Maybe just trim the ears and bangs and don't touch the curls in the back...but would that look like a baby mullet?


Decisions, Decisions...


What do you think? Cut it, leave it or trim it?



I leave you with pictures of his hair:

The back of his head


The side

His hair isn't that long. It looks cute. My boy had the same curls in the back, when I gave him his first haircut I saved them.

I LOVE IT! DON'T CUT IT!!

It really doesn't look that long I don't think. And people would ask me if Ella was a boy when she was wearing a dress and in a hot pink car seat. People are just stupid

I say trim it at least. If anything to get it out of his face/eyes. I like it long in the back. A little trim wont hurt it! Love ya sister!

I cut Charlie's yesterday and I'm regretting it. Just wait, the curls are too precious! If you do cut it just do a tiny trim. Oh and Charlie has that same Tech onesie! :)
