Jacob: Before
His first orthodontist appointment (well, not counting the consult). He got his phase I braces on Saturday. They are only on top, to make room for permanent teeth that want to come in. He will wear these for about a year. Then he will need them on the top and bottom, probably in middle school. Braces: close up; and those crowded bottom teeth
We also managed to squeeze in haircuts on Saturday, too, to complete his big transformation. I think he looks older now. Where did my little guy go?
Nate: Before
Nate needed a haircut too. I love his red hair, and this surfer cut is so cute on him. But, at this time, Nate decides he wants spiky hair like Boo (Jacob). I tried to gently change his mind, but ultimately decided it was his hair. Brian reassured me that it will grow back out. I almost cried when I saw all that beautiful red hair hit the floor. I think he looks older, too. Where did my baby go? And when did he get an opinion of his hair? I'm still getting used to his new look.

Haircuts always make them look older, don't they? My boys love the "bald" look. And for one of them, I don't mind a close shaved style -- he has a nice round head. My Charlie, though, is so much more handsome with a little bit of hair. I make him keep it that way during the school year, but let him go wild with it in the summer.
They both look like such big kids! Love the haircuts--they love to spike their hair, don't they? I just wish a couple of mine wanted to cut their hair!
Where have you been? Everything okay?
