No time for a haircut? Have fun with it!

We've been meaning to get Marcus' hair cut for about 3 weeks, but something always comes up.  Rather than fret about the fact that he's begining to resemble one of the original Bad News Bears, I've learned to have fun with it. We've been playing "Elvis Hairdo," making faux hawks and doing it up Alfalfa style every night after his shower.  Yesterday, I outdid myself.  I had to show my newest creation: WOLVERINE!! Does this kick ass or what! Although Halloween night is already decided (we're going as Luke and Han Solo), he still has his kindergarten dress up during the day. I'm thinking a little biker jacket, some cardboard claws and boots would make for the baddest costume in school!

The haircut (sorry, style) is actually very cute!

[BusyDad] Hey now! I won't tell him you said that. He's outgrown cute. So funny - his pet peeve is waiters and waitresses asking us "Do you need a highchair for the baby?" He gets absolutely enraged. "I AM NOT A BABY!!" He thinks "cute" and "baby" are synonymous.

Uncanny... although I did think it was the Elvis at first.

[BusyDad] And you're not far off. This whole hairstyle game started with the Elvis hairdo. We even sent him to school once like that (gel is fun).

You should definitely do Wolverine for his Kindergarten dress up. That would look bad a$$! Don't forget the sideburns/beard. That would be the finishing touch!

[BusyDad] I asked him this morning if he wanted to do it, and he said he wants to be Superman... this Wolverine is so cool that I may have to exercise my Dad veto power. Don't worry, once I make the claws, he'll be glad I did it.

I see the potential for a faux-hawk, ala Maddox as well!
------
[BusyDad] I would totally do the Maddox thing too. It's just there is nothing in the world I could do to make me even slightly resemble Brad Pitt. If I could, I would have much better things to do than write this blog.

I dress up like Wolverine whenever I feel like a bad ass. It is totally required for any self-respecting boy to have as a costume once. Wolverine just doesn't care and I respect that.

[BusyDad] I agree. Badassedness needs to be injected gradually and early, like a vaccine.
