Tresses

We were really spoiled in the US with Aunt Maria's regular haircuts for the boys.   While I like the "wild"look of unkept Kiwi boy tresses -  my boys start to get this homeless abandoned-child look that I guess we want to avoid.  I bought a pair of hair shears about 6 months ago, but finally got enough nerve to cut Liam's hair last week.  Charlie's hair is a bit coarser with lots of waves - very forgiving.  Liam's hair is very fine and stick-straight.

Here is the outcome.  Jason came home and said he looked like a girl.  I do see a resemblance with Aunt Emily and Aunt Juliet when they were little.  It's really uneven in the back, and I couldn't figure out how to take any off the top.  Let's say it's a work in progress.  

We are friends with a family in Wellington who have three sons (ages 15-20).  The mom cut all of the boys' hair.  They were watching old home videos and noticed the funky haircuts.  One son commented on how much she has improved over the years with their haircuts.  I guess it shows I need to start somewhere...
