First Haircut

This past Saturday we took Clay to an adorable kid's salon for his first haircut! I can't believe he's almost 2 and this is the first time he's needed to have a haircut! By the time I was 2, my hair was already half-way down my back! I was EXTREMELY worried at how he would act... he's very shy around new people and throws a fit if someone other than Mama is near him. I was expecting screaming, crying and lots of wiggling around. Boy, was I wrong! My little man was the best he possibly could have been!


His favorite thing was the little airplane he got to sit in...

The lady asked if he'd be ok if she put the cape on him and I told her to go for it. I was expecting a little resistance, but he willingly let her put it on.

Then she got out the scissors and spray bottle. I was a little nervous about how he'd be with a sharp object up close to him... and he was a champ! Although, it didn't hurt that he had his own private TV with Veggie Tales playing.

Thank goodness for the TV!

She pulled out the clippers and asked if I thought he'd be ok with that... I was REALLY nervous about that! This is the kid that had an extreme panic attack when I turned the blender on one day. I'm talking shaking, crying, screaming... there's no way the clippers are going to go over well. But, we tried it... and he was great!

Dada did have to hold his head slightly so she could get to where she needed.

When it was all done, he looked HANDSOME! He didn't have a whole lot of hair to cut... just some around his ears and trimming up the back. It is amazing what a little trim can do!


Once he was done he got to play a little on the airplane and got his first lollipop!
We will definitely come back to this place to get his next haircut! I was so proud of my little man!
