I interrupt Franceapalooza for a life update.
I had to show this cute boy.
He won't be four for a few more weeks and he just learned how to ride his bike without training wheels.
That's right….we build them really cool around here!
This same super cool kid has been asking for a mohawk for about six months now.
I really thought he would forget about it.
Change his mind.
Move on to something else.
Nope.
I had told him months ago that he could have it once he turned four….never dreaming he would actually still want it when he was almost four.
So….because I am the coolest mom EVER and because a promise is a promise….and because it is just hair………
(and because I fibbed a little and said he was getting a mohawk and then asked the girl to cut a faux hawk)
You have to love a place that gives your kid a mohawk and a tatoo….I was just waiting for the cigs and beer!
Side note….his sister cried when she saw him because she was so sad that his curls were gone.
Ben on the other hand has nicknamed himself "Bad to the Bone Ben"…what are you going to do???
I love it! I really really love it – and he is so darn cute!
Super Cute!!
love that you kept your promise! he looks “sick” (you know that means good now, right? using “sick” seems to go along with his badness!
He looks AWESOME! His inner rocker is emerging, girl! 🙂
I’ll bet he just loves it…his new cut, that his mom kept her promise, that he looks so cool:) He looks great and so grown up! Tell him congrats on learning to ride his bike with no training wheels. What a big boy he is!!
He’s a new man!!
You know that feeling when you get a new “do”
adorable
good mommy!!
Oh my goodness, he is the cutest little guy ever! I love that you let him get a (ahem..faux) ‘hawk! He is definitely a “bad” little dude. Happy Birthday Ben!
P.S. (Loving the Paris posts…it’s like a mini vacation in the comfort of home.)
So precious! So dear! You are a wonderful mommy…and you have the cutest little guy ever! 🙂
Oh my goodness…he’s just the most adorable little boy! And he really makes a “faux-hawk” look cute:) Hope “Bad to the Bone” Ben has a fabulous & fun birthday!
Oh my word Jeanne, I didn’t think he could be more adorable…..I was wrong. He is rockin that new do!
Rock it Ben….you are the man.
What a beautiful little muffin he is!
“Bad to the Bone, Ben”……I love it, he is so cute and the new “do”….makes him look older, which I am sure he loves…..you are a great Mommy…

oh. my. gosh!! that is hilarious! and you did it!! and btw: your son’s fauxhawk looks waaaay cooler than my sister’s did.
i cannot believe the difference in his face – he looks so grown up!
you are the coolest mommy……
I think a mohawk is perfect for such a tough biker boy!
you sure did put a smile on my face! he is cool and too cute, curls or mohawk! i was that cool mom too – each of my kids have been through various shades of hair and styles – raising them to express themselves and be creative – i have one that now has 5 tattoos – for reals! we cried at first, now we’ve resigned ourselves to the fact that it’s just all my fault – lol! hugs xo, h
OH MY GOODNESS…cute is not the word… he is soooooo ADORABLELY CUTE… WAIT…Im not sure that summed it all up… haha… scrapworthy pictures… way to go!!!!
Oh my goodness! I didn’t think that he could get any cuter, but he did! Tell Bad to the Bone Ben that I love his new look!
HMMM…wait they are 18 years old and come home with a real mohawk and loaded with real tattoes….than you are not going to think so cute anymore….just sayin’
signed: mom of 3 growned kids and a grandma of 2 that has experienced it all. I used to think it was all cute and innocent and than reality hit !!!!! try and discourage this kind of stuff 😉
Ok…that is hilarious! Maybe he’ll get the mohawk, tatoo thing out of his system by them time he can actually get them 😉 But then again, my hubby has lots of tats and he’s still super adorable!! So, maybe it’s not that bigga deal. Have fun with your bad boy!
He looks adorable…love the faux hawk. My 7 year old is growing his hair long…just like his big brother…we’re like a band of gypsies over here.
Oh is so adorable… My 9 year old is growing his hair out and daddy fights with him all the time to cut it… And just as you said.. it is just hair….and this phase will pass. Maybe it is the hairdresser in me but there can be worse things our sweet little babies want to do… so go with the hair thing all the way up to adulthood.
hysterical, don’t they look so much older when they get their hair cut? I love the hair cut, he looks so handsome!! enjoy these silly days, soon he won’t want you around!
What a handsome dude! Silas needs his cut something fierce, but it didn’t go so well the first time, so we’re stalling…
so stinkin cute!!!!
What a good mommy keeping your promise. Most moms wouldn’t.
I think he looks fabulous.
Enjoy your baby while he’s still three, my youngest turns 8 in 2 weeks. Boo Hoo.
Have a wonderful day
Cari b.
aww, I think it’s adorable.
🙂
…and if he was 18 and wanted a mohawk, I’d probably let him do that too! 🙂 Just sayin’. Gotta love artistic expression, no??
Oh my goodness he’s a doll. Lookin’ so much like your man I can’t believe it! I think his nickname rocks and so does his hair:)))
I remember when my youngest cut off all his curls. I cried cause he just didn’t look like my baby anymore. Your little one looks fantastic!
Those are the moments in life you will think about when he’s grown and you will smile…
What a precious little boy he is.
🙂
He is a beautiful boy- I love his Mohawk! This is my absolute favorite age of children 🙂
Oh he is sooooo cute! Love his hair and his attitude! Adorable! You do grow them really cool around your house!
Aww, I LOVE his hair! So cute (without the faux hawk too :D)
he is such a cutie. love that he is riding two wheels! congrats, ben!!
Oh my gosh…he is sooo cute! Love the hair and the tatoo. I have a 3 year old and I am always amazed at the things she remembers too 🙂
One word…DARLING!
Well, it is sad to see the curls go…but the new “do” is SO super cute! He’s an absolute doll and definitely bad to the bone : )
Oh My Gosh he looks adorable!!! Look at that little face…I think it makes him look younger and we all know we want them to stay little forever 🙂
what a handsome little dude. i love the fauxhawk on him. he wears it well.
adorable!
that is sweet, he looks adorable either way! have a nice weekend!! susan
He has to be one of the most darling little mohawk bad to the bone kids around! I love it! You are a super MOM!
Too adorable for words! But don’t tell him I said so – say the motorcycle dude at the gas station said it.
He is soooo cute and it looks terrific!! I really love it but see how you miss the curls too…my youngest nephew has a mohawk and I love it on him:)
That is ADORABLE and I am with you…it is only hair. A promise is much more important!
so cute! love the nickname. 🙂
YOU ARE THE COOLEST MOM EVER!!!!!
love you to pieces… so I am signing up for ALT this weekend… please be my roomie! 😉
have a wonderful weekend lady.
He looks so cool…..and I think he knows it! 😉
