Hair Cut
I really hate cutting Chance's hair. I am not a hair dresser and this is not one of my strong suits. He does have long hair, which is something both Andrew and I like (granted if Andrew had his way he would have pony tail like daddy). But I don't like it when it's so long you can't see his neck, and I want to be able to see his eyebrows and ears. I took him to get his first hair cut when he was 18 months (the one with the cape) and he was ok with that. Then we tried again at christmas time and he cried the whole time so they couldn't do a good job. So that's when I took over. However, back in August when we went before the courts to finialize his adoption I talked about getting his hair cut to look good for the judge. I hyped him up for about 2 weeks about getting a hair cut to look good. In fact, he was telling everyone about his "hair cut to look for for the grudge" (thats what he called the judge). So the day before court we went for our appointment, I got my hair cut first b/c I thought it would help him (even though I didn't want my hair cut). When it came to his turn he threw the biggest trantum that I have ever seen. There was no way he was getting into that chair. So I got my hair cut for nothing! :) So once we left the store I asked him why he didn't want to get his hair cut. He says "mommy cut hair at home". So that is what I've been stuck doing. Although I know I don't do as good of job as they would do, but the only other alternative is to let it grow to a ponytail like daddy. :) I just hope he outgrows his fear of the hairdresser for his first day of school next year! The last 2 pictures are me giving his hair a cut yesterday.
