I Miss…

…that baby’s head of hair.

When I think back to the day that Dawson was born, I remember that he didn’t have much hair on his little head. But, within a few short months, his baby hair was growing quite nicely and I swore I would never cut it.

It was his father who demanded that our boy get a haircut on his first birthday, and oh, how I cried. Those soft wisps of baby fine hair; how I missed running my fingers through that little mop.

I loved the way his fine hair smelled after a bath, and the way it dried quickly so that I could spend hours just inhaling the scent of my baby.

As hard as I try to remember baby hair, I look at my little monster now, and only see his “grizzly” hair cut a la Daddy’s hair clippers.
