Stumble It!
I must admit that I am obsessed about Sonny’s hair. Anyone else experience this brand of crazy? Michael has the standard boy cut. I prefer Connie with longer hair, which she usually wants for herself, except for the occasional bob. But Sonny. I think I would fall apart if I came home to find his locks missing.
Michael and Sonny are fraternal twins, and have always been very different in their physical build. However, they both had ultra-blond hair as babies, and most people assume that twins are identical, regardless of clear visual evidence to the contrary. Who knew? I guess I do now. We actually had them genetically tested to make sure that they were not identical, which now that they are almost four, seems like a poorly-spent $150.
Raging Mom takes the kids to one of those specialized kiddie cuts places, where they sit in little cars instead of barber stools. They have cool toys, and I have to say I found it pretty cool that this is where the boys learned about the Decepticons. The gals who cut hair there really should get hazard pay. I once saw a kid scream and kick so much while getting cut and coiffed, that by the end of the ordeal the poor woman was bleeding like Iggy Pop. My kids are saints when getting their hair cuts. No kidding. Little angels. I digress.
Half of the time when the kids get their hair cuts, Raging Mom and I spend the next two weeks griping about how they ruined Sonny’s hair. We’ve thought about bringing in a picture to help them get it right, and now I think I’ve found the right one, and I always knew that it would be a rock star to act as muse. Thanks, Beck, for showing us how good a shaggy blond dude can look.

OMG me too! My boys have the same (non) haircut! I love it long, and would die if they cut their shaggy locks off. I may have to use that picture, as I am usually left trying to describe the cut with muffled words like “shaggy,” “surfer-ish,” almost “transient” like.
And, Beck is rad.
I don’t have a boy, but I’m a traditionalist. If I did, I imagine he’d have short boy hair like boys did back in the 1950s. I’m crazy that way.
The worst fights my son’s father and I have ever gotten into have been over haircuts..it’s serious shit.
I can’t believe how friggin’ cute he is!!
Also, my husband and I have thought about getting that genetic test. You think it’s a waste? The twins were in separate sacs with separate placentas which my OB said meant they were fraternal. But the high risk doc said no way to tell unless you have them tested. Since they are both girls and have same blood type but due to IUGR are 5 pounds apart we can’t tell!
stefanie,
The only reason I thought it was a waste was because the boys look so different now. You are correct that separate sacs doesn’t automatically mean fraternal. I didn’t know this until I had twins, but it is much more complicated than that, and it is common for doctors to oversimplify the fact.
I’d say do it, especially since the IUGR could mask the similarities. Let me know how it goes!
