Dad Takes the Boys to the Barber...

Noah had the biggest adjustment when Muluken came home from Africa. Noah had to give up being “the only boy”, “the youngest child” and “daddy’s shadow” all in one day. That’s rough. Noah liked the idea of having a little brother and grew fonder of having a little brother do anything he said. Noah would have Muluken help him with his chores, get up early together, play rough and tumble games, take showers together, watch television together on the couch, ride the four-wheeler together, and play the Wii and Nintendo DS games together.



One of the best things about getting a new little brother from Africa though, has to be the haircuts. Brad and I are not able to cut Muluken’s hair and it took quite a long time to actually find the right person that knew what a little chocolate brown boy’s hair should look like.


So, after attending UMOJA in Green Lake this past October, we found our new barber for the boys. The man who cut their hair at UMOJA actually has a shop in Appleton. Yeah for us! So, about three weeks ago, I ventured out with Muluken and found the shop. I was the minority. That would be the ONLY white person in the place. The man who cut Muluken’s hair before remembered us and welcomed us. We had to wait for about 20 to 30 minutes, but the smile on Muluken’s face was priceless. When it was his turn, he was all smiles. $5 later, we were all done and it looked awesome.


So, on New Year’s Eve, Brad took the two boys to the shop, Executive Cuts. Both boys got their haircuts with designs. Noah was so excited and can’t wait to go again for another new design. Check out the new hairdos:
