I think that's okay ... I already have quite a few milk teeth from my seven year old instead!! Honestly, I'm not really sure what I'll do with them -- I know my mom still has mine and I certainly don't want them now!).<br /><br />Angela, I remember my son's first haircut so well. He threw such a huge tantrum that it took about 45 minutes until I could hold him still enough for it not to be dangerous to bring the scissors close. Sounds like Dylan was well behaved in comparison! <br /><br />It is definitely a baby to boy experience -- made me weep at the time.
