the barber shop

We have got some seriously cowlicky hair around here.  The minute Walter was born, as he was being rushed off to the NICU, the nurses couldn't stop talking about his hair.  "He has two swirls!"  Yes, he does, and they cause his hair to collide into itself on the top of his head.  It's cute, but it's going to bug him forever.  Fritz has the most outrageous light socket hair ever.  Just on the top back of his head.  The front lays down flat, but the back is what we call peacock hair.  A lady at the grocery store once asked me if I intentionally cut his hair into a "faux-hawk".  Uh, NO.

Thankfully, they do love the barber shop and the popcorn machine at the barber shop.

The barber shop is a bit of a magical place.  Something happens there, something amazing.  Both boys sit absolutely still and quiet.  They do what the ladies ask them to do.  Fritz has nearly fallen asleep in the chair with his head bobbing.  I wish this quiet moment could last all day.
