Today was a big day in our little household. For some time now Eliot has been sporting, as Spencer so aptly put it, "a flowing mane of golden locks." 
It had become one of his most prominent features, overshadowing other noteworthies like his eyes and his cheeks.
So this afternoon we went to see a friend of my father's, Robert Hoeft, who also happens to be a barber. Eliot handled the loss of his locks like the little man that he is with only a few tears and a few more howls.
He received a certificate with a bit of golden tress taped to it (which will promptly go in the scrap book) and was good to go.
To celebrate we took him to our favorite gelato shop here in town. Now, as he grows into his new role as big brother he'll be prepared to look the part.

Are you expecting again? Congrats! So when exactly does Eliot get to be a big brother?
CUUUUTE!!! and how did YOU do nora? any tears or howls? Raina
Claudia--We are expecting again :) The due date is 3/16 (one day off from Eliot's due date)
Raina--I did better than I thought I would. I was just so focused on comforting him that I didn't have time to get misty-eyed :)
How well I remember the 'first' haircuts for our sons. John had 'flowing golden locks' and it was hard to part with them. Eliot looks like he is a big boy now.
We are happy for your news of #2 - what a blessing that will be for Eliot. Hope all goes well with the pregnancy as well as the move. Now you truly will be a Can-Am family.
Love to all
Grannie
