So Long Wispy, Baby Fine Hair!

I tried once to take Thom to get his hair cut, about three months ago. He wanted NO PART of it. Totally freaked just LOOKING at the clippers, not even turned on. So we bagged that and i thought "eh... s'just hair."

But it got longer, and wispier, and static-ier, and more of a pain to wash in the tub. So the other day, i gave Sam a haircut (he loves when i do it) and both of us kept saying to Thom "Hey Tommy... want your hair cut just like Sammy's?" And he'd say "YEAH!" followed quickly by a "No! Tommy keep hair on HEAD!" and cover himself like he was ducking for a bomb.



Yeah - the HAIRCUTTING BOMB that happened last night!!

I set him up with snacks and gave Sam the camera (all these pics are Sam's skills!) and plugged in the clippers and he immediately wigged out! Then i remembered, quickly unplugged them and said to Sam, "well... i guess i could cut all this with just scissors." I combed up the first chunk and CUT IT! No turning back now!!!



For the most part, he didn't give a hoot and cooperated pretty well. It's when i got to his neck and ear area that he started squirming and putting his hands up and saying, "Enough Mommy... ENOUGH!" And i would quickly say "I'm almost done Tommy... OOH TOMMY - - what songs can we sing? Wanna sing Rudolph?" And he'd forget and say "yeah." and I'd get a few more snips in. Between the songs, the replenished snacks (covered in hair, but whatdyagonnado?) and Sam's words of encouragement between clicks, we got 'er done!



For a first hair cut done by MOMMY, i'd say i did pretty good. There are a couple 'chunky' lookin' spots, but i just lick my hand and smooth it over with the other hair. :-D
