Jackson's first haircut

Before.....

And after.....
  • We finally did it. On the spur of the moment (which 50% of our decisions end this way) we decided to take Jackson to get his first hair cut. He sat in the chair all by himself and he was such a big boy. He only got upset once when the stylist pulled out the clippers. It only lasted a few seconds and then he was rewarded with a blueberry sucker.
  • I guess now the hair saga begins. It's off to the hair stylist every 4-6 weeks from now on with my buddy boy. Riley is 3 1/2 and she has only had two hair cuts in her life. Campbell has only had four. This will definitely be a new experience for me.

It's amazing how that first haircut makes a little boy look so much older. He also looks so much cuter! Yes, the 4-6 week haircut is a pain when you are used to girls with long hair! Maybe Tom can buzz our boys! WAIT...I'm not ready for that!

Cute! Caroline got to use that same penguin cape for her first haircut! Our routine is that every time Ben gets his hair cut at the barber shop, Cole goes with him. Cole loves it, and I don't have to think about it.

What a cutie! Yes, we had the same dilemna with Jake. I trimmed the odd strays until he was nearly two and then we went to one of those "Pigtails & Crewcuts" places that specializes in kiddie cuts (and distractions!) We take Jake every three months now.
