So after months of deliberation, Tyler had his first haircut this morning at the same salon I go to. We were hard pressed to want to get rid of those beautiful curls. It went pretty well, and we are sooo happy with the cut. We got there and Tyler wasn't sure about anything. We took him in and showed him what was going on, and he wasn't buying what we were selling. We introduced him to Katie, who would be cutting his hair. So finally we brought out the big guns - we set up the portable DVD player with a fresh Backyardigans DVD. Worked like a charm. He wasn't a fan of sitting alone, so he sat on my lap, and he really hated having the cape put on him. But again, once he saw his Backyardigan friends, he was cool.
Katie asked if we wanted a "little boy cut" or if we wanted to keep some of the curl. Well, damn, given the option, I want the curl!!! lol So she called it a "little boy shag". And the cutting began.
Tyler did awesome. As long as Tyrone & Austin were singing and dancing on the screen, he didn't care. She clipped away. And boy did she clip. We didn't realize just how long his hair had gotten until we watched her cut. lol I did keep some of the curls, and they are secure ina little envelope. But we love it. He looks so much older, at least to us. His hair is out of his face, which I know is a relief to him. And while he has the curls still, they aren't hearly as out of control as they were. LOVE IT!!!!
