Growing up too fast

What is it about a haircut that makes kids instantly look older?  I took Wes last week to get a haircut and he acted like such a big boy.  He climbed up the chair, and sat super still. At one point the barber was trying to get him to look down so I went over and stood by him and Wes said "No mom, you go back and sit down."

            I'm embarrassing him already, oh how I dread the teenage years, for so many reasons!
