Day 41...Again

Okay, I know I already posted today, but I have to tell you about our afternoon!
Zane has long, curly hair, as you know from the pictures.  He is so obviously a boy, with his blue jeans and blue shirts and tennis shoes...HOWEVER, that means nothing in Ethiopia. He's been called a girl a few times and today I realized his hair was getting long enough to braid.  Fine, if it coils up and lies flat on his head.  Not fine if it frizzes into a poof in 4 spots on his head.
So we ventured to the barber across the street from the guest house and decided it was time for a trim.  Well, a trim in Ethiopia is a full on shave.  It is not in style here for boys to wear their hair long.  In fact, he wanted to know if he could keep a curly tail in the back for "fashion".  That lets you know how the communication was going!  Anyway, by the time Zane was done...he was ready to enlist in the FIGHTIN' TEXAS AGGIE CORPS OF CADETS!  WHOOP!

Here's some pics of our new little Aggie stud:

He is one of the most adorable little boys I have ever seen. And I think his hair cut is perfect for being a future Fightin Texas Aggie!
