Bald IS Beautiful

When Trent was born, I was so happy to see that he had a full head of light brown hair. However, he slowly began loosing his beautiful locks. For awhile he had what Brian and I referred to as a "skullet". You know, the classic horseshoe generally reserved for men over 50 - love you dad! Anyway, Trent couldn't even hold onto his skullet and slowly, through time, his lovely full head of hair was reduced to this:

One miserable, sad little patch. A tail. Well, tonight we decided it was time to give Trent his first hair cut, and say goodbye to skulletville. Surprisingly, it didn't take long. Haha. So, now you see it...

And now you don't. And bald is definitely beautiful.
