This Picture shows how long his hair had grown. Now that he is part of the Delayed entry program, it was suggested that he start looking like a Marine. Everyone will be glad to know that he donated his hair to Locks of Love.
This is how the girl who cut his hair styled it. She didn't want to cut it any shorter. I told Greg that if he didn't like it that I would take him to the barber shop to get it cut properly.
He never looks very happy when he has his picture taken. He isn't very happy about the length of his hair, it should either be longer or shorter, this length is just annoying. He kept trying to tighten his pony tail.
He couldn't stand his hair being at the length it had been cut to, it was at the length that was to short to tie back and to long to stay out of his eyes. I took him right after he got home from school to get it cut right. He is much happier with it this short. It is still very curly even though it is this short.It won't be very long before both Greg and Kyle will be leaving home, and already I miss them. Can you say "separation anxiety"? At least I have time to get used to the idea that they will be leaving and starting their lives, they have chosen a good way to begin their lives. They will do fantastic!
Anyone who wants to come to their graduation/going away party let me know. So far any time after the 16th of June has been suggested. I will let everyone know when the date is set and exactly where it will be held.
Live fully....

Wow! What a difference. For some reason he looks like a Marine. My guess is that he knows it will be cut much shorter when he gets to boot camp.
I am proud of him and his decision to take this step toward adulthood. It had to be a momnetous decision for him to have his hair cut this short at this time. His donating his hair to Locks of Love is indicative of the kind of young man he is. You have done a wonderful job raising him and the others.
I do understand the concept of separation anxiety. Try to remember that, as a parent, your primary job is to empty your nest. It is tough, but doable.
Take care.
Serve well and live fully.
Dad
Why does it bother me a bit that the first woman you had cut his hair wouldn't cut it the way he requested? Erg.
Looks good though, so grown up!
The barbers comment said it best, "Maybe she didn't know how." She was very reluctant to cut it any shorter, it was a free cut because of his donation, so complaining just didn't seem right. I wouldn't have gone there except for the fact that they take donations for Locks of Love.
How has his new do affected his behavior? Deciding what kind of an adult to be is a tough decision. He does look good.
Make it a good one.
Love,
Dad.
Ah, didn't know that it was free. I am right there with you on the not complaining then. :)
Did you all tell her he was going into the Marines? Maybe she felt this would help him be less freaked out going from so long to Marine short?
Anyway, his locks were donated to a fabulous cause, and he's becoming quite the young man...
He is becoming quite the young man. The length of his hair hasn't changed how he acts or who he is. It was less than 24 hours between his getting it cut the first time and the barbers. She didn't want to cut that short for that reason, but she could have cut it a little bit shorter so that it wouldn't bother him.
