My soon-to-be 15 yo son is going through the fun stage of figuring out what style he is most comfortable with...so, his appearance and clothing is changing on a weekly basis.

He has super-curly hair that he's worn all shaggy and long for EVER, but he wanted it cut down to a "faux hawk" last week...so, we did that, but with the curls, he just looked like Kinicky from "Grease".

So, tonight he asked me if I'd take the flat iron to his hair to see what it looked like. This is what we ended up with:

Thanks! DD took that picture herself, don't ask me how. Her name is not really Iris, but it means that in another language. It's my favorite flower.

Congratulations, noordinaryspider! I was wondering why I hadn't seen you posting lately.

I was kind of off in that headspace where nobody who wasn't as obscenely pregnant as myself could relate to me. It's good to be back!

Apologies for spamming this thread, but ds1 is not only incredibly gorgeous (okay, vain then) but he shares my love of photography.

I have to share this. This is ds when he was 13 with straight hair before puberty set in.

Isn't thirteen the most incredible age for boys?

Chris at thirteen

Dang, they look so young to us now even though they looked so old to us then.

Yep, they look like babies at 13. It's amazing how much they change in just a few years, looking so much like men now.

Very cool mohawk. I wanted to say that a while ago but I've been having trouble with this site lately. My ds tried flat-ironing his hair a few times, too. That actually got me into using a flat iron on my hair.

Whoohoo! Finally got some new photos!

He asked me to help him with getting a new photo for his MySpace page. He borrowed the camera, then asked me to unload it and send him the photo he wanted. I however, saved all of them to my computer!

My DS Tristan, now 14 and a half

it's really bad for hair, but it does look cute.

Oh, oh, I wanna play! I'm 20, but we'll just pretend I'm a teen still. I'm not that far out.

At 18:

At 19 (possibly on my birthday, actually) working at a summer camp for children and adults with developmental delays:

20th birthday. It's time for PRIDE:

A few months ago. Ren-Faire anybody?:

Last week, with the caption, "eff you, gender normative behavior. Eff you." Yet another picture flipping the bird:

Yesterday, after I shaved off a lot of my hair:

And here are my siblings. This is when I last lived with them, ages 11 and 9/10:

and now they look like this, ages 15 and 13/14:
