The First Haircut

After weeks and weeks of poor little Josh getting a sweaty head after just minutes of leaning against a blanket or pillow, we finally decided to cut his hair, so we bought a lovely clipper set for like $9.50 at our local Wal-Mart and went to work. You see- pre-hair cut, he looked like someone with a lame combover. The hair on top was SO long.

It took some doing, because every time I would approach his head with the clippers, Josh would smile and giggle. Apparently it tickles. I wouldn't know, having never gotten my head shaved. Anyway, after using Steve as a distraction to keep Josh looking in one direction, we did it.

Here are the before (left) and afters (right). (Well, before as in Sunday... when I was taking pictures of his cute sad faces...)

How cute! You have way more talent with clippers than I do!

He looks so cute! At least he only giggled when you were cutting it. When we cut Zander's hair, we have to put a movie on the computer & pump him full of candy the entire time to keep him from screaming. He is terrified of the clippers.

What a big boy! Haircuts always make the kid look older all of a sudden!
