Maverick's Hair

You may have noticed from a few previous pictures that Mav has kind of crazy hair. There isn't a lot we can do about it - it seems to have a mind of its own! We detangle it, brush it flat, spray it with hairspray...


...and within 2 minutes it looks like this in the back:


Mornings are never complete without this little bedhead smiling at us.


Seen here in silhouette:



I think that, lately, he's gotten a little sick of me attacking him with brushes at every turn and has started sporting some pretty unusual headgear.

The Hat



(Further proof my kid is almost never fully clothed, I guess.)

And The Bike Helmet (preferred because he thinks that if he wears this constantly, Dad might take him on a bike ride!)


Maybe it's a good idea my kid wears a helmet everywhere...


We're coming to the realization that the only possible solution is to just buzz the kid's head. And hope all of the people that have previously commented on his hair at the grocery store, Costco, and the playground just won't notice that it still gets tangled and matted, no matter how short it is.
