Haircut

Finally, we managed to get our little boy a haircut. This has not been an easy process. When his hair first started to curl up in the back, about a month ago, we took him to the base barber shop to get it cut. It all started out well - Daddy sat down and they put the cape on him, and then David sat on his lap and he got his own little monkey cape. It went downhill after that. After lots of tears and Mommy and Daddy switching places and David kept moving, we decided to cut our losses and try again another day.

Fast forward about a month and we decided today was the day. In the meantime, we've been talking about haircuts, the giant bib that you put on, etc. He can even say the word haircut. This time, I sat in chair, and he started to get a little upset when they put his cape on. Daddy was also there to distract him and kept his head turned in the right direction.

I give the woman who cut his hair a lot of credit. She did a very good job working around his movements and was very patient.





David for the most part tolerated his hair cut. We talked about the other people in the shop getting his haircut. We sang, gave him raisins, and continued to promise that it would be over soon. In the end, he looks like a big boy and we don't have to do it again for at least another 3 months.
