Faux Hawks

When our friend Molly started cutting Zach's hair, she introduced us to the world of the faux hawk. I like to give Zach faux hawks, but after a little teasing (or maybe not even teasing, but just comments) from preschool classmates earlier this year, Zach decided he didn't want faux hawks anymore. Occasionally he gives in and decides he does want one, and he gets so many compliments when he does. I know faux hawks aren't for everyone, but I think they look darn cute.

One day last week as the boys and I were going upstairs to brush teeth before preschool, I asked Zach one day if he wanted a faux hawk. He said no, but Drew immediately started grabbing at his hair and saying, "Hawk! Hair. Hawk!" So then Zach decided that if Drew was getting a faux hawk, he should, too. I couldn't resist taking pictures of my two little hip boys.

The next day Zach decided they should have faux hawks again, and Drew was happy to go along with it. I didn't get pictures of them both that day, but I did get a couple of cute shots of Drew while we were playing when Zach was at preschool.

I always wanted a daughter with long, pretty hair that I could french-braid. Faux hawks aren't nearly as fun as that, but I guess they will have to do!
