Yes to the goat’s milk yoghurt, a bit gross looking, eh? but did you notice the new haircut? Levi has lost his wonderful mess of curls that was amusing, moody, wild, occasionally quite feminine, and well, unruly. I just had to tame it. I had been threatening it for weeks. So, the other day, the scissors was there, his head was there (ladyjoanna was not there!) so I surreptitiously snipped a lock. As I hoped, Levi saw the result of my work, and was excited to see more. When ladyjoanna saw it, she was very surprised, and a little mournful, but she seems to like the new look as well, and while she rightfully scolded me for doing this without her present (a cardinal sin for dads, i’m told) she seems to be fine with it all now, especially after she fixed some of the hacking i did.

He probably won’t get mistaken for a girl for a while. I know it shouldn’t matter, but it was bothering me. I don’t think he ever heard anyone call him a girl, which happened fairly often with strangers, so the haircut won’t correct some outstanding incongruence in his mind, but it will in mine, which counts for something, no? Plus, his hair was like a creature on his head. At times it would grow an arm which would stick out horizontally, or another head which would lift its way up behind his own. This could be dealt with by combing, and he likes to have his hair combed, but I’m no fan of maintenance. In the end, his new cut looks cute and boyish, yeah? and well, it’ll grow back!
