bean’s hair

Because someone expressed concerned regarding the girliness of Bean’s curls in the video I posted the other day. That video is over a year old. At the time the child was a few months shy of his third birthday and had never, not even once, had a haircut. That plus the moisture and warmth of the tropical air left him with long and bouncy ringlet curls, the kind of natural ‘do that forcibly reminded one of Mariah Carey circa 1992.

This photo, on the other hand, is as recent as it gets. I took it just a couple of days ago while we were in the car on the way to my uncle’s for Easter. As you can plainly see, his hair is significantly darker and straighter now.

The camera I used the lovely kiddie camera that my dad got Bean for Christmas. Mind you, I say “kiddie camera”, yet it has 2 megapixels and takes lovely shots. It’s also simple enough to use that even though he’s not quite four he was able to figure it out by means of an hour or so of trial and error.

I only discovered the wonder that is Flickr less than a year ago, and only now is my photostream starting to look like a Christmas goose of Bean photos. He’s even got his very own “set”. It’s the perfect antidote to Bean-withdrawal.
