As you may have seen in pictures the last few months, Gary has grown a beard. He’s been doing this the last few years for the winter and around this time of year he shaves it. A friend recommended that we let Nathan watch him shave so that he understood that it was still Daddy, even without the hairy face. Nathan was very interested watching Gary shave and couldn’t take his eyes away at first. He seemed a little wary for like 2 seconds and then Gary talked to him, and it was all good.

And After

Obviously Nathan doesn’t mind the new look, though he probably misses being able to tug on the beard. (Im sure Gary doesn’t miss that part at all.)
