Will's hair: to cut or not to cut?

I love Will's hair but it's getting ridiculous. When he gets it in his mouth while eating you know it's starting to get too long. When Grandpa Paul has someone tell him "what a beautiful daughter you have" while taking him for a walk, even when he's dressed up in a very boyish blue outfit (as opposed to something like this), you know it's really starting to get too long (and that Grandpa Paul looks young enough to have a 1-year-old).
I figured it was about time to retire the Reader's choice poll for best Will video, so we have a new poll, as you can see on the left side of the page. Not saying the poll will have any bearing on what we actually end up doing with his hair but it would be interesting to see what people think.

We had a similar issue with Simon when he was a baby. We gave him a do when he was about 6 mos. old because we thought he too closely resembled Krusty the Klown. I say cut it, but only because it's fun to see what they look like with a real haircut. He has so much hair that even with a haircut, people will still tell you you have a beautiful daughter!

Well, this is an easy answer. The real question is; do you want Will to hold a grudge against you for the rest of his life? He only has one chance to keep his first hair.

At the very least; wait until the boy is old enough to understand what it is to have hair, and let him decide for himself.

Do not let such petty issues of gender confusion invade the boy's right to such a beautiful head of hair!
