HELP! i need a haircut

AJ & I are in the middle of a debate involving my sweet baby Ethan. I say he needs a haircut for obvious reasons (see above pics). His dad is refusing 2 let me, his reasons being that it will lose its colour like LJs hair did & its fine as it is. Honest it must be so annoying for my boy having it hanging in his face like that & im not even aloud 2 tie it up!! 'put hair gel in it' insists his dad. 'GROSS!' is his mums response. Fancy wanting 2 turn sweet smelling soft hair in2 a sticky hard mass. Its not like I want 2 give him a major cut or nething, just a tidy little fringe. Wish i had the guts 2 just go ahead & do it. Unfortunately AJs wrath is not worth it. You shouldve seen him when I recently trimmed Maddisyns hair for the 1st time in her life!! Mind u I did wait till he was away from home before doing it... & so the debate goes on.
Ethan has a real annoying habit at the mo. He loves throwing everything he can carry thru the bars on the back deck or off Maddys little balcony in her room, 2 the ground below. Usually if somethings not where we left it, the 1st place we check is outside. On Sat arvo, he decided that it was the handset for the portable phones turn 2 fly. & fly they did, smashing 2 the ground. So apologies 2 all who tried 2 ring from Sat thru till Mon. Hes also expanded his vocab. He can say Mum, Dadda, Shuddup, Katy, Aunta, Unca (uncle), bubba, & na (no) is the new 1, amongst all the normal baby babble.
