I just had to...
...cut his hair! It was a much-needed haircut!
Everyone in my family is telling me to wait until Lucas turns one-year old before cutting his hair. It's a superstition! Some folks believe that when we cut baby's hair before they turn one, they will go bald at some point. Some say they will become stupid ("maka-bugo" kuno).
So where do I stand on superstitious beliefs? I am old-fashioned when it comes to this and I believe in superstition. I observe them ONLY IF I can help it, only if believing doesn't do any harm. But when it is no longer convenient and when harm starts creeping in, I have to let go of my beliefs and do what I think is right.
So today, Lucas had his first haircut! And although his head now looks like a coconut husk (I did an awful job cutting his hair--I should have just left the job to the pros), he's a happy kid! I think the shorter hair made him feel a lot better--no more hair covering his eyes and tickling him inside the ears. I noticed him rub his eyes and scratch his ears less! I think I made the right decision--of giving him a haircut! Of doing it myself? That I'm not so sure!

i'm all for your decision of not waiting one year before cutting baby's hair. i cut baby benjamin's hair when he was barely a month old. lucas looks so cute! you gotta let us see a photo of him with his hair dry, hehe. :-)

I couldn't that's why his haircut is so awful. It doesn't look that bad here in the photo but when it dried, it looked horrible! He sat still for a little bit and started moving a lot later. He would keep looking at the scissors in my hand, so it was really hard!

I thought of bringing him to the barber, Chi pero hadlok ko. What if maglihok cya and masamad cya sa scissors? Caring for customers is unlike caring for your own kid!

Hahaha! Makatawa jud ka, cuz! Funny kaayo tan-awon iyang buhok. Wala gatupong! Yeah, you did tell me you cut Benjamin's hair. I was surprised kay sayo pa man kaayo. But I think it's better to cut early kay di pa lihukan kaayo!
