My new haircut

Today was the day. My only goal to accomplish while Chris and Leah were away was to get Caleb's haircut. This has been a long time coming because he never wanted to get one. We managed to get a little bit cut off before Christmas, but since then it was a "no go" in the hair cutting department for Caleb. And as you can see from this first photo, "the before", he definitely needed one.


I have been pumping him up all week about getting his hair cut. So much, that he was actually pumped to get it done. I used the "bribery" tool and told him that I would get him a treat. He also kept saying that he wanted "to make daddy happy". Even this morning he was all for the hair cut.

Until she arrived...(yes, we had to get the hair dresser to come over to our house) and the hair cut was definitely off. We talked to him a bit, he played with the clippers and comb and then I strapped him down in his booster seat which was directly in front of "the Cars movie". All this didn't matter anymore as he forgot about the treat and making daddy happy.

To make a long story short...see for yourself "the after". Caleb got a haircut and he looks so handsome. We went out to Wal-mart shortly after and he picked out a couple of cars (shock) to buy as his treat. Although he fought a hard fight, I am very happy that he got his haircut and maybe next time it won't be as much of an ordeal.

He looks so much older. Glad to hear he made it through the trama!
