ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

major changes afoot for mr. gus. and ALL of it was instigated by him. witness the first image of my beautiful boy with the viking hair going on:
this is gus running out onto the field at the beginning of an isotopes game about two weeks ago

and running back

and this past sunday, gus playing with a hot wheels thing that i have four times previous stuck in the goodwill bag, just to have him find it yet again...

and then the unthinkable happened: he asked me to cut his hair.

i cut about three inches off and he wore it like that for a few hours, then he decided he wanted more taken off. so i did that, and he wanted even more...this is the end result:

my boy gus!

we have had such a struggle every morning to get his hair brushed and relatively ordered, which i know was driving him crazy, but he was the one who decided enough was enough. recently he has been having a lot more people mistake him for a girl--especially while playing baseball--and that just isn't sitting well with him anymore. he had always been good at having kind of a "screw you" attitude to that, but he said he was just sick of the whole thing and wanted to cut it all off. honestly, it made me a little sad--i loved his long hair! he looks beautiful with short hair as well as you can actually see his pretty face. (his pretty face is what i think threw some people off with the long hair and thinking he was a girl thing.)

if you see him, let him know what you think about his big change!
