Baby Got Fade...

Shep got his first real haircut this past weekend. I say real - he has had others (mostly by me) but this was his first ever cut with an intended style (and one that didn't involve a soup bowl on his head). It was also his first ever trip to the Crow's Nest Barber Shop, where his daddy gets his hair did. The fade is Paul's usual look, his pre documentary look. The current mohawk he sports will stay put for a few more months, at least until shooting for his Punk Rock Big Year finishes up. Paul looks good no matter what - but yes, I am starting to miss the fade. 
Shep starts JK in a few weeks so this was the perfect time for him to shed some of his baby curls. That does bum a Mama out a bit - however I have enough stashes of that boys hair to knit a jaunty fall sweater so I figured it was time. 
(Next weeks craft project perhaps).
He was nervous at first, but with Georgia standing guard he climbed on up into the barber's chair and toughed it out. Big thanks to Jonathon at the Crow's Nest for such a great cut and making him feel at ease. When it was all done he gave Shep a little comb to carry around and Shep in turn spent the day slicking back his new do like a champ. 
Drink this in ladies...
