just like that

crosby's hair is silky and blond and perfect.  ben has a head full of thick, fluffy hair.  ben's hair requires regular cuts to be tamed.  i never wanted a pair of scissors to touch my baby's head.  but since cros' hair is stick straight, my vision of him having a little surfer-boy do, in reality was just a mullet with long bangs.

so we got his haircut.  and with the help of jelly beans, he did great.

 and just like that, he's not a baby any more.

my heart.  somebody do something.  it's breaking.

then to further depress me, ben turned five and instantly got his first loose tooth.  i got the big event on video.  i have no idea where he gets his theatrics from.

must be his father.

 and just like that, he's a big boy.

somebody make this slow down.
