Baby's First Haircut


For a few weeks now, Jamey's hair has been getting very out of control. Hair was curling out from his head at every posible angle. The back was turning into a mullet. Under no circumstances would his hair look anything close to combed and managable. It took me a while, but I finally convinced Glenn that his hair was in need of its first cut. Some people were even calling Jamey "she".
We were thinking of having Glenn's cousin Susie cut it, as she had cut Glenn's the first time. She even volunteered to meet us in Toledo when we are out there next week, but looking through out Gau schedule, our group leader has us on the run the entire time, leaving no extra time.

And so, yesterday, we set out to Cartoon Cuts and had a cute little woman named Mina cut his hair. She sat him in the tall chair and strapped him on around the waist. At first, it didn't seem to bother him. And then came the buzzing machine.

Jamey has a phobia of any machine that buzzes loudly. He screams LOUD when we use the food processor. Thus, when the machinery to cut his hair was turned on, his expression turned quickly sour. It only got worse from there, as he screamed at the top of his lungs, folded his body in half to try and get away , and batted his arms at Mina. Even singing German dance songs wouldn't calm him. When she used the scissors alone, he was fine, but he would not have the buzzing!

Alas, his hair looks great now, but even more than that, Jamey truly looks like a little boy now. Yikes!

Wooohooo...how handsome! That place should know better than to use the buzzer on kids, especially when it is their first time. I would be scared too!

Katie's hair is getting out of control, as well...but I'm hoping it is OK since she is a girl.

Owwwww, he looks so grwn up! Damn he is one handsome dude! We have a cool kid's place where they can sit in chairs like airplanes or trains, they have DVD players in front of each chair & the little ones can pick the movie. In the chairs for the older kids they have video games, they can also pick their game & play during the cut. You should check & see if they have one of those by you...I will try to remember what it is called....
