Summer Haircuts

For the past couple of years TJ has given Nathan a buzz during Memorial Day weekend. This year we decided that Tate had enough hair to get one too.
It's a great summer haircut! It makes life so much easier in several different ways. First, it helps with bed-head in the mornings, bath time at night (because there is less hair to rinse shampoo out of). Second, because their hair tends to grow fast we take them for haircuts every 4 weeks when they don't have buzzes. Giving them a buzz cuts at home eliminates all those trips to the Hair Cuttery and helps our monthly budget. Since my kids tend to spend the summer in our backyard and camping it also makes it a lot easier to search their hair for ticks and keeps their hair from looking too dirty when they've gotten hot and sweaty.

Nathan still isn't a big fan of the clippers, but he puts up with it because he likes having his hair short during the hot summer months. Tate was very excited about getting his haircut by Daddy and happily went first when Nathan refused to. He laughed and smiled through the whole haircut and was amazed by how his head felt when TJ was done. He looked so strange to me the first couple of days after his haircut but now that I've gotten used to I think it really looks good on him.
