First hair cut!

This week I took TJ to get his very first official hair cut. I have trimmed his bangs, myself, once before but I didn't count that. ;-) He was rocking a very nice, curly, mullet which I actually loved. But his aunt is getting married and he's going to be the ring bearer so I thought I should clean him up a bit.

Here's a good before shot of the mullet. And since I know you'll wonder, he's wearing an Amber Teething necklace in this picture. A few fellow mama friends have absolutely sworn by these and I was at my wits end and ready to try anything to get him to stop biting the furniture and me! He's not currently teething so he hasn't been wearing it lately so I can't quite testify to its miracles yet. :-)



The haircut itself was a bit traumatic. He was in a great mood, we had wandered around the mall while we waited and he was babbling and laughing, but as soon as I tried to put him in that chair - meltdown. And then when the stylist got out the cape HYSTERICS. I should have figured since the kid can't even stand to wear a bib.





But the gal cut as quick as she could while I tried to reason with a 14 month old who wanted nothing but for me to pick him and and haul him out of there! He clung to me sniffling with big fat crocodile tears the whole way to the car. But by the time we got home he was happy again. Here are his after shots. Cut huh?





He might be 4 by the time I try that again!
