I just think little boys with the short "little man" hair cut are so darn cute! I've always kept DS's hair short. But if he wants the long hair, he can definitely have it. But the attitude must go! DS has chameleon tendancies - wants to fit in with whoever he is with. When he's truly himself, he's sweet, empathetic, sensitive. He likes school socially, but hasn't necessarily found a great peer group there where he can just be himself. He's on a very short leash for media access at home.

I do have a 12 year old nephew with quite a mop of hair, and he's adorable in it. I'm sure it's just a matter of time until we have one at our house!
