There's something about a baby's 1st hair cut that's a bit heartbreaking. Snipping off those delicate baby hairs is like shedding some of the "baby-ness" and a big step toward turning into a big boy.
We just had to go for it though, because those side curls Kyle had going on were getting out of control - they were a good inch longer than the rest of his hair. Brave dad took out his scissors and went to town, and he did a great job! ...and mom only cried for a second :)
