First Haircut

Nicholas got his first haircut last week. He was a little overdue as he was usually styling some serious wings on the side of his head! He was getting a little slight curl in the back of his head, but the top still seemed pretty straight. So anyway, we headed over to the barbershop last Saturday. The barber is our neighbor across the street. As soon as he set up the little stool for the barber chair and I sat Nicholas down, it all went south from there! Then Jack tried to strap the cape on him and told him he was like Superman - yeah, Nicholas didn't buy that one bit! And then Jack came at him with clippers............oh, boy, Nicholas was pretty much done!

So I offered to sit him in my lap and eventually minus the cape and that worked slightly better, but it was still not going so well.

Then we discovered the ashtray in the side of the chair. That provided a bit of a distraction and allowed Jack to get some cutting done.

I was a little surprised how short he went, but I absolutely LOVE it! It's so super cute! He looks like such a little boy now and not so much a baby anymore. Jack tried shaving his sides and around the back of his neck and ears, but he realized when enough was enough, so he stopped. He offered Nicholas a pretzel stick and after we brushed off most of the hair from our shirts, things were much better.

Here is the little boy all clean cut!

He's dodging the camera pretty good these days, so there isn't a great picture, but, boy, is he cute!
