Cody's new haircut!

Cody used to have very long hair. The front of his hair looked more like a crew cut, but all the back was kept in a ponytail. Years ago I would braid it for him, this past year and half he as worn it just in a ponytail.

Last winter while Cody was on his Residency (which is a six week stay at the school's farm in Wisconsin) the girls on his trip asked if he wanted his ponytail cut off? He agreed! We still have it in a bag, waiting to be sent to Locks for Love. His long hair had been many years of growing, and I guess he was just ready for a change.

Cody has been wanting to get a "real" cut ever since. We finally found a great place nearby that I think gave him what he wanted. He was pretty pleased sitting there having his cut by a dread-headed, multi-colored hair, tatoo covered arms beautician.

Here is a pic with his new haircut, and the Wiliam Tell Award that he won on Friday. His school had been doing archery and it was the finals. He was very proud to receive the highest score in the school history of archery.
