To cut or not to cut???

This, it seems, is becoming the major question. What to do with Brice's hair. My father and my mother in law say "cut!!" I and my mother say "don't cut it!!!" My husband, in case you're wondering, has gotten tips from his hairdresser on how to properly cut a child's hair. So, yes, he's gunning for a haircut too. 
The problem is, everybody thinks he's a girl. Which is just so weird to me. I dress him in browns and blues. Not even yellow! He doesn't own a single piece of clothing with a flower on it. Heck, I even got him some camo overalls. And I think he looks like a boy, too. He certainly acts like one. He's all bruiser. So what gives?? 
His hair is even getting wavy in the front. Wouldn't it be a crime against nature to cut it off now??? What if we cut it and the curls never return? Maybe I could put it in a ponytail. The truth is, he's had one mini-cut. One time when my folks were visiting, my dad cut his bangs while Brice was bathing. He cut them with the kitchen shears. It was, with apologies to my dad, a bit of a travesty. A wee bit too short. So now i'm too afraid to cut it again. Besides, who cares if people think he's a girl? He's too little to be offended.

We are totally in the same boat with you! Eli has a TON of blond curls now, and we can't bear to cut his hair for fear that it will never be the same. I already feel like I'm losing my baby boy so quickly, I can't bring myself to lose his baby boy hair. Brice's, by the way, looks great. :)
