Lollipop

Will's hair needs a trim.... again. The last haircut, the hellish experience one, didn't yield a very good result so I think that's why the poor little guy needs his sides and his top trimmed again. I made him an appointment for Sat. morning so Aaron could come help me this time, but this afternoon I decided to see if maybe I could trim the sides to at least make it presentable for the next few weeks and we could hold off on a haircut. Distraction is the key to doing anything for Will that he doesn't like... he reads books while I change his diaper, eats a snack while in the grocery store, and today I tried some ice cream... and then the golden ticket... a lollipop! I handed that thing to him and he knew exactly how to eat it... how does he do that?? It was just enough distraction that I was able to cut one side of his hair... the other side is still long and I'm hoping that I can get it cut tomorrow when Aaron gets back and maybe we can still forgo that appointment on Saturday. Who knew cutting a 14 month olds hair would require such creative thinking... I'm really starting to envy those parents whose kids are bald.

The newly cut side... I really shouldn't be allowing to use scissors on my child's hair, it never turns out the way it's supposed too... at least it's off his ears now though!
