Haircuts

On Monday, I told Joshua it was time for a haircut.  Ever since a bad haircut in a barber shop our first month overseas-I cut Joshua's hair.  He generally hates it and puts it off as long as possible-I told him today was the day.  After talking about Joshua's hair, Lailie decided she wanted her hair cut and not just a trim.  She wanted it cut short-to her shoulders.  All day she kept on-"Please cut it short Mama-to my shoulders."
Well, I sat Joshua down and did his usual trim and sent him off to the shower.  Next up Lailie! I thought I would just trim it a little and she would be happy, but she insisted.  So I thought why not?  We cut about 4 inches off the back and it looks super cute.  BUT.... Why do haircuts always make them look older?  She will be 5 next week, and I am not sure that I am ready for that.
So on to Tuesday, Joshua starts talking about cutting his hair shorter.  We didn't really think he would do it, but he insisted so we got Daddy's clippers out and started.  It looks good too-really like we used to cut it when he was little.
Here is a picture of the the new haircuts!
