Please help, my 2yo needs a haircut!

[heydooney]

My husband and I decided way back that we would let our kids have their hair however they wanted. Or try, anyway. I think it's important to my husband because he wanted a mohawk when he was little and never got it; now he's bald. We were talking about when our kids are older, but our 2½-year-old, Kalten, has an opinion NOW. We used to just buzz his hair with  a #4 attachment, and he was happy with that. But lately he's told us he wants it longer. I said, "long like Mommy's?" and he said "no, like Kalten!" So he likes his longer hair. We've had the bangs and back trimmed, but that just looks like a toddler helmet. What he needs is a hairstyle. Here are a few pictures of what he looks like now:

The hair all goes forward and down from a double cowlick in the back. Any ideas???

My son has multiple cowlicks and looks like chicken little if it gets too long. LOL. We have a stylist cut it now-but before we literally had to pin him down to use the clippers. Good luck with whatever you decide. Love his Kleenex shoes :)

He is a cutie! Maybe just trim the back and around the ears? How about spiking the top? :-)

We ended up getting the same style, just shorter, so as not to traumatize him too much. He cried the whole time, even with a lollipop in his mouth. I would like to spike the top, but he is adamant about his hair laying down!
