Nathan’s first haircut was classic! I tagged along to Mike’s barber shop with Gayle and Mike one afternoon after we realized my sweet nephew was beginning to look like he had a mullet! That had to be taken care of! 
Nathan sat cautiously in a booster seat, wrapped in a cape and with a brush in hand to keep him occupied while the barber skillfully and quickly snipped, snipped with her scissors and Gayle and I snapped, snapped with our cameras.
You’d think we were the paparazzi and Nathan were world-renowned! It’s just so fun to capture these firsts!
Nathan looked so worried, as if he knew something was happening to him, but he was a trooper and with his daddy by his side, he had a boost of courage.
He was transforming before our eyes from a baby into a little boy and while I know Gayle and Mike were happy, I could sense a nervousness in them both as they watched their baby’s blond locks flutter to the floor. Every now and then I’d see Gayle’s lower lip fold over, but yet her eyes were smiling. I know she was flooded with the emotions of joy, pride and a little sadness at the thought of how quickly her baby boy is growing. But he’ll always be her baby.
He truly portrayed the model client—so patient and still. His good demeanor was rewarded with a lollipop—his first taste of sugar!
Yes, I do believe he liked it very much.
What a handsome boy! I love the old-fashioned wave atop his head... something that will never happen again!
Admiringly,
Auntie Dawn
