Hair Cut

Last night, I realized how much Nicholas needed his haircut . . . but, didn't I just get his hair cut??? This is a new scenario for me. It seemed like forever before his hair really started to grow. Apparently, the last haircut finally did the trick. I told Nicholas that we needed to go get his hair cut tomorrow. His reply was "No thank you Momma."

Well, . . . at least he was polite about it! (LOL)

However, that didn't change the scenario. I told him we were running errands and just walked him right into the Barbers. Luckily, it was quiet. I even got the same girl to cut his hair (she's really patient -- she has 4 kids of her own). Nicholas did much better this time. A few tears and I had to hold his head a couple times, but all-in-all he did well. PLUS, he remembered where the lollipop jar was and ran straight for it as soon as he was done.

The sad part for me was looking at him and realizing how much older he looked. I felt like I had cut off ALL his toddler hair . . . and now, I had a little boy . . . but he looks SO good!

Oh my gosh - you are SO right! "Before" he looks like a toddler; "After" he looks like a little boy! Sad that they grow so darn fast, but ADORABLE at the same time!

Well, whether he aged with the haircut or not, that boy is a stinkin' handsome fella, with the shag or without! Those eyes are gonna have the girls sighing one day :)

PS - is the girl who cut his hair an adorable redhead? Christina? She goes to church with me. Someday I aspire to have her hair :)

Thanks for all the sweet comments!

Nikki ... Yep, it was Christine who cut his hair. She's so nice. Ironically, she was almost crying more than Nick cause she had hurt her back. So every time she leaned over to cut his hair she was in pure pain :-(

p.s. I tipped her REALLY well!

I just happened to find your blog while I was searching for "toddler hair cut". I hope you don't think it's weird for someone you don't know to leave a comment about your son, but I had to say that Wow! He's really cute!! (but I'm sure you're already well aware of that!)
