So Josh has been growing his hair for months - I think a combination of his overall desire to look like a girl, and a particular desire to have hair that he can tuck behind his ears. I don't have any particular objection to him growing his hair, just to the corresponding battle over washing & combing it, and the frustration he exhibits when it "makes his face tingle." So for weeks we've been discussing the possibility of getting it *trimmed* -"not too short"- and he finally suggested going the other day. We didn't have time until tonight, and after the first go-round, we actually ended up going back and asking them to cut off a little bit more, but in the end, I think it turned out great.

I think he may be sad in the morning when he realizes she cut off the curls he was trying to keep, but at least we can see his cute muppet face again!
