Boy's First Hair Cut


BEFORE

AFTER

Last Saturday, PUPPY got his very first haircut at a kid's hair cuttery. They had little cars, animals, and motorcycles for kids to sit in while they cut their hair. It's a really cute place. I'm glad I found it. However, the little boy did not enjoy the experience. We put him in the police car and he's jiggling the steering wheel until he sees the woman coming at him. He lunged for me and the woman was very experienced. She asked me to hold him in the salon chair. I'm holding on to him and while he's squirming and wailing in my arms, she was able to give my son a nice crew cut. He looks so refreshed with the haircut. Hopefully, next time won't be such an ordeal.

The woman asked me if I wanted to have a piece of his hair, I quickly responded no. and she looked at me in a shocking way, "You, don't want his hair!?" "oh, yes, please..." I responded. I didn't want her to think I was a bad mother. I kept a piece of Bunny's hair from her first cut but I ended up losing it b/c I never got around in making a formal baby book for her. I'm just not very good at stuff like that. I don't know... it's a bit odd to hold on to hair, I think. I hate cutting hair at home because I hate all the hairs all over the place and to keep it... It kind of grosses me out.

Well, I have Puppy's and I will just store it into his photo album. I wonder if I'll appreciate it when he's all grown up.

Well, I'm glad I gave him a haircut because this summer is starting out so hot and humid.

it was sooo great to see you this past sunday. and N did horrible at the barber shop that day too. he was wailing and screaming, as i was pinning him down. felt like a wrestling match. and i had hair ALL over me! :) :( i think i might try to do it at home next time. cleaning hair on hardwood floor will be a lot easier.
jonah looks so handsome~ as for saving his hair, i saved N's mullet that i cut several months ago at home, and i don't know where i put it! haha! it is pretty crazy and gross to keep those things. our parents thought we were crazy and too sentimental. :)
