Ezra, the boy who asked us to shave his head last year, has been growing his hair out for a few months now. I think the last time he cut it was some time in the Fall, and when it came up again to cut it a couple of months ago, he said he wanted a reverse mohawk. I said no with the excuse that it would be much too distracting at school. So he said, “Fine, then I’m going to grow it out.” Out is really the operative word here — his hair doesn’t get long so much as big. And big it had gotten.
I figured once the weather changed and it was hot I’d have another chance to get him to cut it. This week’s 80 degree temps worked in my favor and Monday night was haircut night. I took a couple of [goofy] before pics.
Apparently he and Bruce made a deal that he could have his mohawk (regular, not reverse) for pictures.
We actually thought it looked pretty cute. But as agreed, the rest came off next.
He reported that many of the kids at school asked if they could rub his head the next day. And one girl told him she thought he looked better with this haircut. Then he said maybe he’d keep it like this all the time. We’ll see.
