Luke got his first haircut today. He was not impressed... He got what was called "the boy cut," I assume that this is a standard cut that all hairstylists learn to do.
I held him in my arms while he alternately sucked on a lollipop (also his first, unless his sisters snuck one to him earlier) and screamed. This is why I need to take my children to have someone else cut their hair. She took of the slight curls and the parts that were coming over his ears. She used the little buzzer thing to go in front of his ears and on the back of his neck---he really hated that. And at the end, he looked like a little boy instead of a baby.
His sisters, of course, also got their hair cut. They had much more hair cut off, but since it was a smaller proportion of their hair, it wasn't really noticeable. Well, the biggest change was that Eleanor got the beads she had been wearing since her last haircut cut off, and replaced with a strand of beads on the other side of her head in different colors. Beads make much more sense for Eleanor than any sort of headband or bow, since the former stay in (for weeks and weeks, as we found out) while the bows and bands get annoying and fall out and get lost almost immediately.
One more Luke story: When I put Luke to bed, I always say, "Shh. It's time for sleeping." Luke has been saying "ssss" whenever I start putting him down for a nap or sleep. Tonight he whispered "sss. ha da ta ba." I asked him "What did you say?" and he repeated the whisper. Either this is what he hears me say, or he thinks he is saying actual words, or... It was very cute.
