Gettin' my ears lowered

We went to this great place called Cool Cuts 4Kids near Borders in OP. It's AWESOME. They have cool chairs, movies, video games, a train table, and all kinds of things to keep the kiddos distracted.

I thought he would freak, but he didn't, the distractions worked, and got a little commemorative card for his baby book with hair and a picture after his first (official) haircut.

Mom, why is this lady touching my head?

Look, it's the word factory!!!

I don't like that noise by my ears. It's scary.

But I LOVE getting my hair combed. She does it slower than mommy-- probably because I don't try to take it from her all the time.

VROOM VROOM!!!! HAIRCUT TIME!!!!!

For $17, who can beat that? That's the price of NOT holding a screaming kid while getting hair in your mouth, and it's totally worth it to me!
(Though I'll probably still do most of his cuts at home).
