Hair by Skywalker
Saturday, May 17, 2008
After asking for several weeks, Archie finally got his hair cut. We went to the nearby mall on my birthday, meeting up with some friends running the same errand. His ideal coif was inspired by Luke Skywalker.

He didn't, however, think up this profile.

A willing client
Unlike his brother—who may be trying to grow hair like Rapunzel—Archie was a willing client. His last haircut was short, like his friend Max. This time, his ideal coif was inspired by Luke Skywalker. (Technically, Luke was second choice behind Yoda, but fortunately I couldn’t describe what that meant.)
The mirrors were a source of entertainment while the hair got shorter in the back of his head. By the time the stylist reached the front, Archie was serious. As the haircut proceeded, Archie became more and more intense, possibly channeling the young Jedi. The stylist had to cut his hair twice since the first pass wasn’t Luke enough for Archie.
I was concerned what the reaction would be when he reached home. However, both Carter and Amy greeted him with, “It looks like Luke Skywalker.” Mission accomplished.

When he got his hair cut like Max he also did more than one take- the stylist cut it, held up the mirror and he made the face in the bottom picture, saying “Shorter.” First thing this morning he sat up, bedhair in place and said, “Does it still look like Luke Skywalker?”
