One characteristic the boys certainly don’t share is their hair. Where Trey Davey’s is thick, dark and coarse, Benji’s is thin, light and fine. Not all Davey’s birth hair fell out and by 11 months old he needed his first haircut. Sandy gave him his second haircut in January and he was overdue for another one yesterday. Benji was also ready for a haircut, not because it was thick, but because it was so long on top. Curls were forming behind his ears and a few people asked if he was a boy or girl. This clearly indicated it was time for Benji’s first haircut.
Just as we had done with Davey in November, we made a haircut appointment with Kim Haire who works at the House of Hair. As this was going to be Benji’s first time, we truthfully went into this task with not a little trepidation anticipating that our little temperamental one would have a major melt down. Quite to the contrary, Benji sat still like a big boy until Kim finished his trim. Sandy saved the clippings in a letter sized envelop.
Benji demeanor was serous during the ordeal. He wasn’t quite sure what was going on or why Daddy was photographing it, but he was up for the challenge. Once his haircut was completed, Benji’s fun-loving personality appeared. He flirted and visited with all the folks in the salon while Davey was having his haircut. Kim’s mother Ellen stopped by to see the boys. Ellen worked with Daddy Dave for five years in the 1980’s.
I wanted Trey Davey’s hair cut to the same length as Benji’s, but that didn’t happen. Davey was not in the mood for a haircut on this day and resisted. This was partially my fault for making the appointment during his scheduled nap time. Given his twisting, turning and crying, it’s remarkable that Kim cut as much hair as she did. Both boys looked beautiful with their new haircuts.
