OK now I’m ready to cry - well either that or lock Dylan up in a tower somewhere. Last night he ran with me to the drugstore and while we were there he mentioned that he wanted to dye his hair (um ok, I wasn’t quite ready for that). He wanted to dye it black and I said NO WAY buddy. His skin is pale white, he’d look scary with black hair! LOL! I told him that we could do some highlights to his hair though if he wanted to try it out and he was sooo excited. He picked a kit that was easy and added blonde highlights. So we ran home at 11:00pm and started the process. It was so fun! We laughed and talked while I put the lightener into his hair. He could hardly stand the 20 minute wait to see what it would look like. After we washed it out it looked SO good and I helped him blow dry and style his hair. Well, the kid was over the moon about it - he was feeling really great about himself and his appearance. The highlights are very natural and subtle, they add more color to his complexion which is nice and even have a bit of a golden/carmel hue in places. He’s thrilled and I’m happy that he didn’t run off to a friends house and dye it black! LOL

I sat there in bed last night thinking about how much he’s grown up, it wasn’t that long ago that he was just a little guy tagging around after me and now he’s interested in hair color! Who knew! I think that if any kid has the potential to be an exceptional teenager it’s Dylan. I’ll post his blonde pics later.
