Week 43 of 52

This week is full of anticipation.  Next week Evan is getting his first hair cut.  His hair is so long that it cannot stay out of his eyes, even if I brush it aside.  It constantly gets food in it when he eats and wipes his hands in his hair.  It is always matted with drool when he wakes up from sleep.  He doesn't complain about it.

This week I have been using my fingers to cover his long whispy curls, imagining what he would look like with his hair shorter.  I get very emotional about the idea of my sweet boy's face looking different and I quickly remove my fingers from his hair.  Perhaps it is some denial or fear surfacing inside of me.

This week I wanted to focus his pictures on the one thing that has amazed my family and friends when he was born (aside from him being a BOY!), the one thing that has tempted people to call him a girl and a princess, and the one thing that will be forever gone in a few days.... his long hair.
