First Haircut

Yesterday Milo got his first haircut. I think the haircutting lady thought I was insane for not cutting his hair sooner. She kept saying, "It's so long" over and over. I don't know, it didn't seem that long to me. Also I have a phobia about getting my own hair cut. Also I thought I could do it on my own, which is why your hair always looked sort of lopsided and strange.

At first Milo was all excited because he got to sit in a little red fire engine. He grabbed the steering wheel and made honking noises. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw the glint of the hairdresser's shears, and in an instant he started howling. I think he thought she was going to decapitate him. He cried through most of it. She cut off all his curls, which I loved, but I guess they'll grow back. Anyway people will stop thinking he's a girl at least. So, Milo, you used to look like a little toddler -- now you look like a financial analyst. Oh well. It's only hair.
