I have to warn you as you begin reading this post that it is LONG, a Mama's indulgence, if you will. The truth is, over the last four years I've become quite attached to the blonde afro you see below. You can imagine, then that today, the day the afro was cut off, was a big one. Ramin and I decided awhile ago that we'd wait until Isaiah was personally ready for the haircut. We waited and waited and waited some more and finally, a few weeks ago, he decided he was ready. We were expecting that he'd be up for nothing more than a trim, so you can imagine our surprise when he said he wanted it "short." Ramin got him all set up for a Saturday afternoon visit with Al at Al's Barber Shop. Al is a former European Pro-cyclist (which Sonny was stoked about) and has a beautiful shop in a manly exposed brick, steel and wood kind of way. He used to cut Ramin's hair and really took his time with Sonny explaining every step of the process. Here are way too many pictures of our time there today...
The hair in all of it's glory this morning.
Waiting with his dirt bike at Al's Barber Shop.
Cute.
The guys.
Al, getting Isaiah settled on his booster.
Ready to go.
The cape.
Combing it out.
The tamed mane.
The first cut.
Sitting so patiently.
Focusing.
A view of the freshly cut back.
What a face.
There's a little man emerging.
Look at that cute little head.
Finishing touches.
Checking himself out.
Sonny and Al.
Thumbs up.
High fives with Daddy.
Exhausted.
