It seems that when our kids are really young my wife and I think that it can’t be too hard to cut a kids hair. And we end up messing it up. And then we give it a few attempts to “fix” it. And it only makes it worse. I’ll try to find some old pictures of Ella. Her hair looked horrible. She had a really bad “boy’s haircut” for a few months when she was two.
But I had to run get a tire fixed this morning and decided to take Rowan to get his haircut afterwards. We were thinking of trying to wait until he turned two later this month for a haircut. But he was shaggy. You couldn’t see his ears. I’m not sure he could see anything through his bangs. And he was sporting a serious mullet too!
So after Walmart (and an emergency diaper change which included me having to buy diapers, wipes, and a new pair of pants!) we headed to get him all cut up. Here are a few pics below.
This was at Walmart before we left. His hair was CRAZY!
Still @ Walmart
He sat really, really still.
Bev showed up to watch from behind.
He was still, but paid strict attention in the mirror.
Almost done. He's getting a quick clean up
The finished product. But he couldn't be still.
He's cutting up. But his bangs aren't so severe now.
Looked like fun!
He didn't seem to think it was fun (or not fun) during it. He was just calm and intense. But he was happy once it was over!
Love the photos! He appears to have taken it all very seriously — very.
Indeed he did.
