At one month of age, Seth Robert Ince lost all of his hair. That is, on the top of his head only. The back continued on even through the adversity of a "back sleeper." His mother talked of getting it cut especially after instances when people asked if she cut his hair. Offended greatly, she quipped, "No I didn't thank you very much and if I did, I would not choose a mullet. Yes, I may be from Texas, but don't live near the river." OK, maybe she was just thinking that in her head while she grimaced out a "no" to the asker.
Even still, she didn't have the heart to cut his golden locks.
 |
| Mom, don't even think about cutting The Mullet! |
 |
| Dontcha think it's cute? |
 |
| Pure gold |
She would finally build up her resolve, and then he would wake up like this:
 |
| Mom, please don't cut my hair. You hate change. I will not look like your little baby anymore if you do... |
So he carried on as he was, The Mullet firmly intact.
The Mullet lived on even through a photo shoot while wearing his Pakistani outfit given as a gift from one of our friends. Are those shoes the cutest?
 |
| Don't miss the hair flip |
 |
| This one is mostly for the pose, but The Mullet is also alive and well if you look closely. |
 |
| I mean The Mullet has it's own shadow for crying out loud! |
And then little Seth was woken up for church one Sunday and The Mullet had turned into this:
 |
| Business on top |
 |
| Major party in the back. |
 |
| Oh,My.Curls. |
And she again resolved to get his haircut immediately.
But somehow, he charmed her out of it again. Even with lunch all over his face.
The Mullet withstood Tutu's b-day photo...
 |
| Yes, Seth has a bit of a shoe fetish. Why do you ask? |
as well as Soup Night.
And then resolve was once again restored, when he found a girl's hair clip and insisted his mother try it on him.
 |
| It worked way too well. |
Next, he found a hair band.
 |
| The length of that pony-tail has most girls his age green with envy. |
And that was the last straw.
 |
| The waiting room at the Barber Shop |
 |
| Ignorance is bliss |
 |
| Mom, what is this alien thing you've given me? |
 |
| I think it has little strawberries printed on the package. |
 |
| I like this Barber Shop place! |
 |
| The Mullet's final minutes |
 |
| What's going on here? |
 |
| Lollipop, where have you been all my life? |
 |
| Nothing in the world is happening except for my consumption of my first lollipop, copious amounts of drool, and the distant the singing of "Lollipop, Lollipop" intermittently interrupted by a snip, snip sound... |
 |
Tada!
First haircut = total success! |
 |
| Bittersweet moment for Mommy as she watches her baby grow into a little boy. .. |
