We've heard this several times since our return from China. Our son does have a rather unique 'do. In nearly every picture we've ever seen of our boy since day one, he's sporting a traditional Chinese haircut, with a long tail in the back, shaved all over, other than a long patch in the front. This is not a common modern-day cut for little boys, and it makes him look very "Last Airbender-ish". We asked about this from his caretakers in China. We were told this is a very special cut, and the orphanage staff decided this was a good look for our little dude. :) The long tail in the back is for good luck and longevity. Fu Cho, one of the staff memebers in the orphanage said the shaved head with patch in the front is there to draw attention, to say "here, look at this awesome boy"! It is a sign of endearment, our Dan Dan's distinguished hairstyle. It's very different, but it's growing on us. Not sure how long we'll keep this haircut, but for now, he rocks the look quite well.
