This is one of two sisters that were sweet enough to pose for my blog. Kalvyn and I met them at the zoo . . .
Have you ever wondered how a mother could leave her baby after the scent of a human is on it? I have many times, and been appalled. Well yesterday I got a small glimpse into how that might be possible. Kalvyn had six inches of beautiful blonde hair on his precious little head . . . and I chopped five inches off. Needless to say my efforts looked terrible, and half way through I just broke down in tears. Kalvyn didn't want to stay still, so there were long pieces and uneven sides. My sister Rachel came to the rescue, and soon Kalvyn was all even and had a very cute hair-do. Don't worry, I'm coming back to the baby bird story. : ) Even though it was cute, for several hours I felt like I'd lost my baby boy. I couldn't look past the drastic change in the hair and see he really was the same Kalvyn. There was a time of adjusting to the change, and yes, mourning the wave blonde locks. Thanks God we are human and not birds. We stick it out long enough to see our baby really is still the same. I am so thankful that Kalvyn doesn't have to endure long hair all summer. I like it, I'm just always going to love his long hair best.
Half way through : (
After Rae worked her magic . . . but we were playing at the splash park so it is all messed up. Better picture will come soon : )
Talking on the phone sporting the new and cool hair cut!
