Big Boy Haircut

Well, after enduring such indignities such as coming home with his hair in a ponytail, we finally decided that it might be time for a haircut. For haircut #3 we decided it was time for a big-boy haircut with actual style. A new children's salon Snip-its opened nearby and we gave it a try.

Anthony was less than enthusiastic about this cut. To begin with, he didn't want to sit in the chair. We started him off sitting on my lap and he did okay there. We tried using an animal cracker to bribr him into sitting in the chair, but no dice. He did decide, however, that he required a steady stream of animal crackers and goldfish to ensure cooperation. In the middle his stylist had to leave to take a phone call and we took that opportunity to transition him to the big-kid chair. (Note the handful of goldfish in the bottom picture.)

He did fine in the chair, except for deciding he wanted nothing to do with the clippers. So we didn't use clippers.

I'm pretty happy with how his cut turned out. We didn't give him a "little hispanic boy buzz cut" because Anthony wouldn't look like Anthony without his hair.

He cleaned up nicely, but I still miss my little wild-haired boy!
