First Haircut

For a while now Dave has been pushing for a haircut for the nino.  I, however, have steadfastly refused.   Tonight during dinner though I realized that the nino’s hair was in fact out of control.  It was like I was seeing his wild mop for the first time, the wispy blond hair curling over his ears…. yes the boy needed a haircut.

After dinner Dave plopped Ajax into the tub and turned on the beard trimmer (it was the only thing we had).  Ajax thought it tickled and did very well with it!  His hair, however, was just too long and the trimmer wasn’t cutting it.  After bath time, I sat him on the counter in the bathroom and while he played with his toothbrush I took some scissors and trimmed it up!  I think it turned out… ok, luckily he’s too little to be embarrassed by a “mom cut” because honestly cutting hair is not my specialty.   I think I’ll invest in buzzers and he’ll get a buzz cut till he’s old enough to care.
