I finally decided to take Benjamin to get a real, "professional" haircut. At least as professional as you get at Great Clips....because I'm not paying more than $10 for a haircut for him :-)
We took him Saturday after the afternoon at the Orchard. We had let him nap in the car for 1 1/2 hours while I ran a few shopping errands. We figured it was a good time to get his haircut since he might be a little more mellow after sleeping.
He sat right on the salon chair, with a booster, and they had a special kids cape that had marine life on it. How perfect! Benjamin loved the octopuses, sting rays, sharks, etc. It was the perfect distraction.
oh, he was so cute sitting on that chair
I've never used the clippers on his hair, so he was nervous at first. But she let him hold them and he calmed down once he saw them as a "toy"
the hair is getting shorter!
He did cry just a tiny bit toward the end when she was cutting the top. I had to distract him by pointing out the animals on his cape, but overall he did excellent. It was kind of sad to see him acting so grown up!
His few tears quickly faded when the lady picked him up and told him he could have not 1, but 2 lollipops! He was in heaven.
he was so excited
it wasn't until later that I realized the front part was a bit uneven so I have to fix that. I think she just rushed a bit toward the end since he was crying a few tears.
We finished the Saturday by eating at Five Guys Burgers and Fries (YUM!) and headed home. Benjamin got a bath and acted like a crazy man until we made him go to bed.
what a goof!
this is his reaction to trying some of daddy's Fresca pop :-)
Can't believe my cute little boy had his first real haircut. Stop growing up already!
