My brother when he was about this age had long ringlet curls . They thought it was just to precious to cut , his hair was red as well. People kept asking my parents , when are y'all gonna cut that boys hair? My oldest sister got the sheers and did it for them. She was about 4 years old.

How nice. My mother's mother died when she was 3yo and she was raised by a step mother who was extremely abusive. It makes me happy to read stories like this with seemingly happy endings..

Actually Kristy, I have a friend whose youngest son had such pretty curls that she couldn't bear to get them cut either. Recently, she finally did & donated them to Locks of Love. So it's not just because it was 1929.
