So, yesterday was the day that we broke down and said, we're going to let someone cut the boys hair. It was LONG overdue. Steph tried to cut Max's when she cut Gracie's at the end of summer, but it didn't take long for it to get as unruly as it was before. And honestly, I don't think she wanted to mess with his hair anymore. So, we left it to the professionals.
There's this great place called Cool Cuts for Kids that's designed just for little kids. Games, movies, toys - you name it, they have it. Even little cars for them to sit in vs. chairs. You can even bring your favorite movie for them to watch while the cutting happens if you like. We did.
Steph and I had a meeting before we arrived and agreed that we wanted their hair cleaned up, but didn't want anything crazy. To Steph, that meant Justin Beiber. To me, that meant way short (and Justin Beiber). I told her that I didn't want to lose the spirit of their hair, I just wanted it to be less-mullet-like and clean. She laughed. But she understood.
When we got there, that's what we told the stylists. They laughed. And they didn't understand "spirit." But they did a good job.
Surprisingly, Nick was the hardest to keep still. He didn't like the gown. He didn't like getting sprayed. He didn't like the scissors around his head and he didn't really like sitting there.
But Max was a champ. He was so sweet. He sat there. Didn't mind the gown or the spray or the scissors. He looked down when the stylist asked him to look down and he answered her when she talked to him. He was awesome, really. Where is this boy the majority of time???
They both look great. Gracie now wants a haircut of her own at this place. I don't know if that's going to fly with Steph.
The stylists were so nice and it's an ideal place for little bitty haircuts. A little expensive so I don't know if we'll be going back. I'm sure we will, at least for the next couple of times. Until they get get comfortable with the idea of getting haircuts. Then, they'll be able to go with daddy!
