Whisker Dilemma


When we brought JJ home for the first time we set him in his carrier on the kitchen table. The way the sun shafted through the blinds and hit his face you could see a blond hair on his cheek. We tried to brush it away, but it turns out it is attached to our son's face. We didn't want to pluck for fear of hurting our new baby, and Joe thinks that cutting it will only make it grow back thicker and darker. We thought maybe it would fall off on its own. That was three weeks ago and it just keeps getting longer and longer. What to do?

I can't believe my son fell for that old wive's tale. Cutting the whisker will NOT make it grow in thicker and darker. If it grows back, it will seem "different" because the end will be blunt instead of tapered. Cut away (CAREFULLY!!!)
