Last and First

Today heralded Andrew's last day of Pre-K. We are so proud of our big boy! It also marked the occasion of William's first haircut. While Gege finished up his school year with a class sprinkler/ice cream party, Didi and I headed to a child-friendly salon nearby. His hair was starting to look like an old man's who has just run indoors from a hurricane.



The salon features vehicle seats and t.v. screens to keep its young clients well-diverted. William, who has never watched Sesame Street, was mesmerized by the sight of Elmo to the point where he barely noticed the woman snipping away at his hair. What a relief, considering his older brother screamed bloody murder through most of his first two years of haircuts.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the newly coiffed William...


















I made sure to save a few locks of his hair for sentiment's sake. I'm thinking of mailing one William's birthmother when we send pictures and a letter to her in a few months. Next to me, she's the only other woman in the world who would treasure his leftover hair so much.

William is such a chunk! I just want to reach through the screen and squeeze those cheeks! Thanks for sharing, what a handsome little guy!

William looks so handsome with his new haircut. Congrats to Andrew on completing this year of Pre-school.

Judy,

William looks great with his new haircut. Coincidentally, I took Matthew for his first professional haircut today. Unfortunately, Matthew cried and screamed bloody murder throughout (I ended up having to hold Matthew in the hairstylist's adult chair).

Best,
May
