Byron got his curls chopped off. I had been arguing that he should keep it long because I simply adore his curls. In desperation, I even claimed that it was the new trend, as evidenced by all the celebrities' babies: see here , here, and here. My argument did not go over well -- I won't even repeat John's reply.

I'm such a wimp that I didn't even go. To be fair, I had to teach that night, but that's really just an excuse. I cried when he came home. He looks adorable, but the front is a bit shorter than I expected. A surfer cut had been requested, and I think that up here that is probably an unreasonable expectation. He didn't get that. Here he is at home:



He looks like a little man now, and quite a bit like his daddy.
