Going, Going, Gone

I interrupt Franceapalooza for a life update.

I had to show this cute boy.

 

He won't be four for a few more weeks and he just learned how to ride his bike without training wheels.

That's right....we build them really cool around here!

This same super cool kid has been asking for a mohawk for about six months now.

I really thought he would forget about it.

Change his mind.

Move on to something else.

Nope.

I had told him months ago that he could have it once he turned four....never dreaming he would actually still want it when he was almost four.

 

So....because I am the coolest mom EVER and because a promise is a promise....and because it is just hair.........

(and because I fibbed a little and said he was getting a mohawk and then asked the girl to cut a faux hawk)

 
 

You have to love a place that gives your kid a mohawk and a tatoo....I was just waiting for the cigs and beer!

Side note....his sister cried when she saw him because she was so sad that his curls were gone.

Ben on the other hand has nicknamed himself "Bad to the Bone Ben"...what are you going to do???

love that you kept your promise! he looks "sick" (you know that means good now, right? using "sick" seems to go along with his badness!

[The Beautiful Life]

He looks AWESOME! His inner rocker is emerging, girl! :)

[M. Griffin]

I'll bet he just loves it...his new cut, that his mom kept her promise, that he looks so cool:) He looks great and so grown up! Tell him congrats on learning to ride his bike with no training wheels. What a big boy he is!!

You know that feeling when you get a new "do"

[Rachel from A Cupcake For Moose]

Oh my goodness, he is the cutest little guy ever! I love that you let him get a (ahem..faux) 'hawk! He is definitely a "bad" little dude. Happy Birthday Ben!

P.S. (Loving the Paris posts...it's like a mini vacation in the comfort of home.)

oh. my. gosh!! that is hilarious! and you did it!! and btw: your son's fauxhawk looks waaaay cooler than my sister's did.

i cannot believe the difference in his face - he looks so grown up!

you are the coolest mommy......

[Kristina]

I think a mohawk is perfect for such a tough biker boy!

[Heidi]

you sure did put a smile on my face! he is cool and too cute, curls or mohawk! i was that cool mom too - each of my kids have been through various shades of hair and styles - raising them to express themselves and be creative - i have one that now has 5 tattoos - for reals! we cried at first, now we've resigned ourselves to the fact that it's just all my fault - lol! hugs xo, h

[Wirda]

OH MY GOODNESS...cute is not the word... he is soooooo ADORABLELY CUTE... WAIT...Im not sure that summed it all up... haha... scrapworthy pictures... way to go!!!!

[Amy Jo Axe]

Oh my goodness! I didn't think that he could get any cuter, but he did! Tell Bad to the Bone Ben that I love his new look!

[Esther]

HMMM...wait they are 18 years old and come home with a real mohawk and loaded with real tattoes....than you are not going to think so cute anymore....just sayin'
signed: mom of 3 growned kids and a grandma of 2 that has experienced it all. I used to think it was all cute and innocent and than reality hit !!!!! try and discourage this kind of stuff ;)

[Alicia]

Ok...that is hilarious! Maybe he'll get the mohawk, tatoo thing out of his system by them time he can actually get them ;) But then again, my hubby has lots of tats and he's still super adorable!! So, maybe it's not that bigga deal. Have fun with your bad boy!

[andrea]

He looks adorable...love the faux hawk. My 7 year old is growing his hair long...just like his big brother...we're like a band of gypsies over here.

[Nathalie]

Oh is so adorable... My 9 year old is growing his hair out and daddy fights with him all the time to cut it... And just as you said.. it is just hair....and this phase will pass. Maybe it is the hairdresser in me but there can be worse things our sweet little babies want to do... so go with the hair thing all the way up to adulthood.

[tara]

hysterical, don't they look so much older when they get their hair cut? I love the hair cut, he looks so handsome!! enjoy these silly days, soon he won't want you around!

[Flower Patch Farmgirl]

What a handsome dude! Silas needs his cut something fierce, but it didn't go so well the first time, so we're stalling...

[cari]

so stinkin cute!!!!
What a good mommy keeping your promise. Most moms wouldn't.
I think he looks fabulous.
Enjoy your baby while he's still three, my youngest turns 8 in 2 weeks. Boo Hoo.
Have a wonderful day
