What have I done?

Let my first words be "I hate it!" (see below)

Until now my world did not include hair clippers or boy's hair cuts.  Poor Evan is taking the brunt of my being introduced to these two things.  Ever since Evan was born he has had a tuft of red hair that pointed down his forehead, until now.  I would have cried had I not been trying to not freak Evan out about loosing his hair.

Now there are many reasons Evan's hair ended up like this.  Evan inherited some amazing hair issues from his father, a cowlick that doesn't quit, the front lays perfectly flat to his head and everything else stands on end until it is well over two inches long.   There is no styling this hair.  It does what it wants.  You can see what James has resorted to to deal with these issues.  Yep, he shaves his head.  He keeps telling me to just give in and do the same to Evan.  I have insisted that my little boy is going to have hair.  Especially Evan's beautiful copper colored hair.

Well I decided that I would get Evan's hair cut short for the summer because he gets so hot.  I paid for several haircuts that always turned out a little goofy.  I also felt that there really wasn't much to taking the clippers to a boys head and that if I did some experimenting I could figure it out and save some money.

As this hair cut progressed Evan got more tired and more frustrated with the hair clippings falling in his face and itching his neck.  I all I could thing to do was get it to some point that it would look fairly decent.  Well this is where it ended up.  Okay it is going to take A LOT of practice.   I am not giving up yet though.  As soon as it starts cooling down we will be growing his hair out and starting over.
