Isaac’s First Haircut

DSC_0004

Last night we took the plunge.

Now that the humidity is gone for the winter (thank you, thank you, thank you)  Isaac’s curls are less bouncy-soft

and more frizzy, cotton candy dreadlocks.

So, last night, Brian and I had some time to kill before bedtime, and we decided to just do it already!  Haircut time!!

I must say, it is fantastic to have a child who is so calm about haircuts,

unlike you know who (rhymes with Boseph) who, until he turned 3 was always a sweaty, screaming, nearly-vomiting, covered in hair and bribery-lollipop stickiness mess.  Just ask my friend Colleen, who used to cut his hair!

I must admit I felt a bit teary for a minute (his baby hair!), but I pulled it together.

Why do kids with short hair look so old?  Why? Why? Why?!!!

Waaaaaaait a minute… As I am posting these I am noticing:  It seems that he did not cry the first time either.  Oh NOOOOO!!!!

What a big boy and how handsome! You should have seen the hard time I got from my little guys :)

I remember Joseph's first hair cut. Gosh - those were the days. Bebe Sister still has not had a hair cut.

Glad it went well. And the end results are wonderful.

We warn the neighbors now when T Rex has his hair cuts. We won't want someone to call child services because the screams and protests are so loud and sad, "No, Mama, no Dadda - I'm feeling very sad..."

I have to say that Isaac looked significantly more relaxed and blase about it than Joseph … even if he didn't cry. My son was hysterical about haircuts from the get go … and is still a little squirrley. He says the buzzers hurt … which IS NOT TRUE! : )
