Josh's First Haircut

Josh has been growing quite a head of hair for a while. For some reason the top is growing way longer than the sides and the back, meaning that about the only hairstyle that works on the kid is a mohawk. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the top of his head was the only part spared from his helmet, or maybe its just his anatomy. Either way, I've been begging Jill to let me trim his hair with the clippers for a few weeks now to at least even his hair out. She was insistent that his hair be cut by a professional, but tonight while our friends Jen, Derek, and kids were over, she was somehow convinced to let me do it with Jen supervising. Here is the before picture so you can get an idea of how long his hair was. Some of the strands actually made it almost to his eyes:
The beginning of the haircut:

He really handled it well despite the horrible faces:

And the final result:

Needless to say, I'm considering a career change to barber. Thanks to Derek for reluctantly taking the pictures so we could document this great event.
