Sweet curls

I love the sweet soft curls of my childrens' hair when they are babies. The curls disappear with their first hair cut and though I save a lock or two, it always makes me cry. Gray's hair has recently begun to curl. It is also getting longer and the time will come soon when I'll have to succumb to the inevitable and take him for his first hair cut. It is sad knowing this will likely be the last time I enjoy one of my baby's downy curls. But for now I will twirl them around my finger and revel in the joy of holding my sweet baby boy.
