Asher Bieber

We've been letting Ashers hair grow long for quite a while now. We go in for the occasional trim, but he hates it so much it's hard to motivate to do that again. Well, over the past few weeks we've had multiple people refer to him has 'she' and 'her' and it was starting to wear on me. So the other night my sister Amy was over and I was just pulling Asher out of the bath. As I was getting him dressed I noticed his lovely golden locks were wet and laying half-way down his back (i might be slightly exaggerating). I saw that and lost it....in a very calm and patient way. I said 'Asher, let's go sit on the porch. Mommies going to trim your hair'. That's when I should've stopped myself. Mommy and trim hair should never be in the same sentence. But I was too blinded by own pride and I went for it. Amy was sitting on the porch swing watching this go down...and her face got more and more distorted the more I said 'hmmm, that's not gonna look right'. But I kept cutting and cutting. Finally I stopped and backed away. The final product was well.....awful. Horrible really. The left side was still long over his ears, but the right side was all trimmed up. The back was just all over the place. Seriously, how could I think I knew what I was doing...so foolish.
So Amy took control of the situation and called her friend Heather who is a hair stylist. She told her it was an emergency and we needed to get in next day.
(Side note: I told mike the next morning that I was taking Asher for a hair cut, mike's response was 'Why?' and I told him how I butchered his hair and it looked awful and Mike said 'hmm, I think it looks fine'. I guess guys are programmed not to look as closely....)
So on to the next day. We take Asher in, Heather was amazing and kept feeding him starburst so he wouldn't cry. It also helped that Amy was getting her hair done in the chair right next to his. Heather was kind and said it wasn't the worst thing she's seen, and she was greatful I didn't ruin the front...that's the hardest to fix.
So after a little bit in the chair, we were presented with the new and improved Asher. Who we now lovingly refer to as Asher Bieber as his hair reflects the young pop star so much.

Say hello to our stlyish young tot. What a looker he is. Watch out ladies!
