Derek's hair has been getting shaggier and shaggier, but I put off cutting it, because I love how long it was on the top.  I knew that no matter how hard we tried to give him a real haircut, we would be forced to buzz it – he just doesn't hold still. 

And then I let it go even longer because it went along with his Halloween costume, but on Saturday, when we had no more excuses, we just had to deal with the shagginess.

He was very confused and upset when he looked in the mirror and saw his haircut.  He turned to me and said, "Mom, where my hair go?" 

What was funnier, however, was Sunday morning when he reached up and felt his head, started getting teary eyed and said, "I miss my hair.  I need my hair back.  Mom, you need to put my hair back."  I am still laughing about it :).

    That’s so cute about missing his hair! At least he can be comforted knowing that it can grow back.
    And I will say that the ‘shaggy’ look was absolutely perfect for his jedi costume.

    That’s so cute! I love the plastic bag idea! When we cut Peter’s we usally just strip him down but he wiggles and complains about the hair on him the whole time! We’ll have to give that a try! What a handsome boy you’ve got!

    Hehehe. We’ve been putting off cutting the boys hair too. Maybe we’ll just let it grow until the spring, so they can use it as their winter coat. 🙂

    What a sweet boy, wishing for you to put his hair back. I felt like that last weekend too, when I got my hair chopped. They took waaaay more than we talked about, but I’m getting used to it. I think.

    so funny! It looks like he does a really good job of sitting still during his haircuts. That is a major win!

    His sentiments are akin to Joe’s in “Little Women” ; ) He’s such a cutie! Love that strawberry blond hair : )

    Kids say the cutest things- that’s a little sad that he misses his hair- His hair cut makes him look older- We always buzzed our boys hair also- :}
