First Cut is the Hardest

You may have noticed in a recent post that Ryker's hair was getting long, really long. Brian had been hinting that he needed a cut (I didn't disagree) but the real clincher was when a lady in our ward laughed when a little boy called Ryker a boy. She said "Did Ty just call your baby girl a boy?!?!" She was pretty embarrassed when I told her that he was in fact a boy.

So we paid a little visit to our friend and neighbor who Jaxon affectionately refers to as "Haircut Heidi". To say Ryker didn't enjoy his first haircut would be the understatement of the century. The cape was put around his neck and the screaming began.

It looks like he's wearing shoulder pads in this picture. That would be his hands under the cape protesting the cape.

The crying was so loud that Heidi's husband and neighbor (who were in the garage working on a snowmobile engine) came in to see what the drama was all about. Yeah, it was that loud!

I love this one! He is looking at Heidi with just a sad/mad expression:

"Why are you doing this to me?!?!"

He's lost that baby look and looks like such a little boy now.

A handsome (and now happy) little boy.
