Edited to add the BEFORE photo per Daphne's request.

For those of you who wonder what the heck I'm talking about...in the early days of TT, we posted pictures of ourselves and the picture I posted included my then 14 year old son Taylor...who also had BIG hair.  Everyone thought he was my "boyfriend" until they read the text.  LOL   He's now 17-1/2.  This picture was taken yesterday as he was headed out to football camp for 3 days thus the junk food he's carrying.

He's a great looking guy, Shantell - and you could still pass for his girlfriend!

Just for you Daphne, I dug around and finally found that photo you requested.  Thank goodness he's sort of over the big hair thing, although I keep hearing talk of dreadlocks after football.  Send prayers my way he changes him mind.    :pray:

They certainly grow up and look like men entirely too quick! I watched each of my four sons grow into men, so bittersweet.

Since college my son has shaved his head fairly close. He used to wear it just a little longer when in high school. He is currently growing a mohawk to shock his baseball coach. His coaches like everyone clean shaven and close haircuts. He tried to grow a beard, but it just turned out to be blonde facial hair!

I can't wait to hear the reaction to it, especially since he says he is going to temporarily dye it the school colors - blue and gold. He's a pretty straight laced kid so it will shock the coaches when he takes his hat off!

Shantell, you're a rockin' hot fox.  YOU, girly.  You look fantastic!!  Love the bob, too.   bear_flower

As for your cutie-pot son... for legal reasons, I'll give him six months to hit 18 "officially."  But do know I'm polishing my cougar gear to a high shine. 

Growlllllll, tiger.

Awwww...you guys are so sweet....thank you for the lovely comments.  I really didn't think about it when I posted the photo of my cute boyfriend.   bear_tongue   I think he's pretty handsome myself but then something would be wrong with me if I didn't since I am his mom afterall.  LOL

And, Shelli....you're a hoot!!!
