DS needs a haircut. He's got these adorable thick curls, but the hair on the top of his head came in before the sides, so he's got the rooster 'do going on. It's cute, but it's always in his eyes and he pulls on it. Last week we took him to the pool and his face looked so sweet without hair in his eyes.
My parents and ILs do NOT want me to cut his hair. They sound so pained when I even bring it up. My parents were aghast at the idea that I was considering not keeping a lock of his hair. I don't really like sentimental clutter. If I keep a lock of his hair, I'm obviously going to have to keep it forever (because who throws away their baby's hair?). What am I going to do with 20 year old baby hair??
Anyway. He's getting his hair cut this week, lol. DH is fine with it and that's all I care about.

Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
