Bye bye curls

Jacob had his very first haircut last night and Mark and I have been mourning the loss of his little curls ever since. It seemed like a good idea at the time to clean up the craziness that had started to swarm his head, but now he looks even less like a baby and more like a little man!

The hairdresser asked me if I wanted to keep some of his hair and I said "no, that's okay" and she gave me a look of horror. Self-consciously, I changed my mind immediately and said "okay, I'll keep some" (as if this change of heart would redeem myself in her eyes.) So, now I have pieces of Jacob's hair in a plastic lunch baggy. You'd think they would give you a special box or something?
