Ode to The Mullet


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. ..

Check out that new do!
