Another Hair Cut for Benjamin

We finally got Benjamin's hair cut again. He really needed it- we really couldn't do anything to style it or make it look cute. We actually decided to cut it short- it will be cooler for summer and we won't HAVE to go get another one anytime soon. I think it makes him look older and it makes his cheeks look a lot bigger! I've missed his chubby cheeks, and now they look more chubby since his wild hair isn't a distraction anymore. (Look at the pictures from yesterday's post to see the difference)

Benjamin did so much better at this haircut than he did at the last one. He didn't cry and it was a lot easier to distract him while the lady was cutting his hair. He actually let her finish completely this time!

By the way- did you notice that yellow green bruise on his forehead and the scratch above his eye? Those are what's left of his horrible fall last Friday night at Jonathan's brother's house. He tumbled walking out the back door and hit the concrete outside. We're actually very lucky he didn't go tumbling down the stairs after that. The goose egg where the bruise is was HUGE- it really scared me. And his eye was all swollen too. I felt so bad for my little guy! He was so upset. Before Benjamin went to bed Jonathan gave him a Father's Blessing. By the time he woke up in the morning (less than 12 hours later) his goose egg was completely gone and all that was left was the bruise! His eye was a little swollen, but by early afternoon it looked great too. All that's left now is the bruise and scrape that you see in the pictures. I am so grateful for this small reminder that Blessings do have such power and we need to utilize them so much more than we do!
