It’s been a while since I last blogged. Taking care of 2 kids has proven to be a huge challenge on daily basis. I am constantly reminding myself that this phase won’t last long, that I should enjoy every moment, but I think many of you who have children will agree with me that it’s the hardest job in the world. While I try my best to be ‘in the moment’ all the time, this past weekend was no different as we decided to give Jalen his first haircut. Papa was hesitant, but we both agreed it was time and we reluctantly went to Pigtails and Crewcuts in Cedar Park.

As Miss Danielle cut his first strand of his long, beautiful hair, I couldn’t myself from swelling up with few tears and even though Miss Danielle reassured me that it happens all the time with mothers, I was definitely ‘in the moment’ for this occasion, and I gathered some hair for his keepsake box to go in to his childhood album. I don’t think Jalen would really care, but it was in a way, a bittersweet moment.

So of course, I came home and took some photos with his freshly cut hair. I asked for ‘no bowl haircut’ and instead, she gave him this cool, surfer dude haircut.
