A couple of weeks ago the boys got their first hair cuts. It was so hard for me to take them! Haircuts, for me, mean that they are not babies but toddlers now. I HATE that. I want them to stay small and snuggley forever. However, it was time. Cort was starting to grow a mullet and Jude was getting mistaken for a girl waaaaay too much.
Cort was first and in typically Corty fashion he was quite unsure about the whole thing. He spent most of the time looking down and furrowing his eyebrows. I was really worried about when it came time for the clippers but the buzzing sound didn't seem to bother him. He did wince at the water bottle spraying him.
Then it was Jude's turn. Jude is fearless and getting a haircut was no exception. He was excited to sit in the fire engine chair and even tried to drive a little. He did end up being so wiggly that the stylist loaned him her name tag to try to keep him still. Colin and I have decided that we are going to try a long hair style on Jude so this was just a shaping trim for him. I am not sure I will like the longer hair on him but it seems a shame to not show off his beautiful blonde locks (who would have thought Colin and I would have a blonde hair, blue eyed child).
Zoe Scout also got a hair cut that day. There are no pictures of her because while she was getting her hair cut I was trying to entertain the boys and keep them out of trouble. It was a rather successful trip even though it took a couple of days to get used to the new short hair. The only down side was the cost....about $60 for all three of them. It seems to me that places should give you a discount if you bring in multiple children....I guess I just need to get used to it.
Someday you could be brave and try to cut the hair yourself! I have tried and failed (multiple times) to give my oldest a good hair cut. But my little guy's hair cooperates much better. It's an easy way to save a little money. Plus, if you end up with a hack job the lady at that cute plus you took your kiddos to does a great fix-it job:) We've definitely been there...
ReplyDeleteWay too cute. I am glad you took pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat first pic of Jude looks just like you!!! Crazy. I am in shock it cost $60!!
ReplyDeleteMan! I wish I could have been there. At least I get to read about it and look at the great pictures you took. I can't wait to read your blog with our kids 20 years from now!
