Hubby returned to Singapore on late Saturday night. When he woke up the next morning, he commented that Greg's hair has grown longer and more messy. Greg's a very active boy and he perspires profusely whenever he carries out any physical activities. His hair will always be very wet, as if he just has it washed. Hubby and I decided to get him go for his haircut on Sunday morning.
Me: Greggie, we are going to bring you for a haircut ok?
Greg: No. I don't want.
Me: But your hair is so long and Daddy says your hair looks messy you know.
Greg: Mummy, are you going to cut your hair?
Me: No.
Greg: But Mummy, your hair is so long! Mine is shorter than yours. See... (pointing to his own hair)
Me: You are a boy so it'd be neater for you to have short hair. Mummy is a girl. Girls can have longer hair.
Greg: Why Mummy? Can I be a girl? I don't want to go for my haircut..
Me: ????
Anyway, we brought Greg to a $10 haircut shop at Compass Point and he looked quite apprehensive while waiting for his turn. He requested to sit on my lap when his turn came. He teared at the beginning but stopped after a very short while. When he saw his hair shaved, he exclaimed, "Mummy, see... I have no hair now". I had to reassure him that he still has his hair but it's just very short now. It was only after the hairdresser told him he looked good then he started smiling. He was so happy that he said he wanted to tell his form teacher (Teacher Roze) and friends about his new hairdo. I guess the hairdresser must have boosted his self-esteem quite a fair bit! Heehee. He also happily posed for me after his haircut in the two pictures above.

hahaha, Gregory is still a handsome and adorable boy, with or without hair! Mommy must tell Gregory Teacher Maeve said that! (^ ^)
Will do Teacher Maeve! I believe he will be very happy to hear that. Heard from his childcare form teacher that he's also beaming with joy when she commented on Greg's nice haircut. He's so young but yet so self-conscious..
