Lawson's First Haircut

Lawson had his first haircut today.  It wasn't really a planned thing, but Papaw had picked Lawson and I up to run some errands and go out to eat and suggested we take him to get a haircut.  So, we did it.  We've been putting it off for far too long.  There have been numerous comments about our little girl!  His hair was so long and curly and reached all the way down his back when it was wet. 

Before:

When we pulled into Sports Clips Lawson had fallen sound asleep in his carseat.  We debated whether or not to wake him up, but Dad and I decided to go ahead and go for it.  So I woke him up, and we headed in.  Thankfully there was no wait, and the lady cutting his hair has done tons of first haircuts.  He wouldn't sit by himself, so he sat in my lap.  He was a little upset at first, but I grabbed a couple of dum-dums before I left the house thinking that might distract him if he was upset and it worked!  He ate his dum-dum, and she cut away his precious curls.  I was so focused on keeping him happy that I didn't have a chance to get emotional about it.  He did great and looks like such a big boy now.  I miss the curls, but it was definitley time.
