Haircut #4

When Adam's hair gets longer, I feel like his face gets smaller. His little face is almost lost with this mop of thick, long hair. We were at the point where he seemed to always have "bed head" and that meant it was time for another haircut... haircut #4. (Reminder -- he is just over 1 year old!)

Just before haircut #4

Having taken him to one of those kids' haircut places in the past (#2 and #3), I wasn't excited about spending nearly $20 for his haircut this time. His little playmate has his hair cut at Supercuts ($13), and his Mommy recommended their lady. Her name is Rosa, and she is the sweetest Latin grandmother who kept telling me how thick his hair is.

I came armed with grapes and snacks and thought I'd timed our visit during his "happy" time. It didn't matter. As soon as she started messing with his tresses, he started crying, and kept crying the entire time. Even Rosa's sweet conversation and attempts to calm him failed. She really was the most patient, wonderful lady -- and thankfully she was quick! She was able to get in there and get him all trimmed up in no time. It was a terribly traumatic experience for him, and the poor guy really didn't calm down until he was safely back in the car.  But look at the result:

Much happier to be far, far away from the haircut place!

So handsome! It really changes his whole new look and always seems to age 4 years after a haircut.

 Doesn't he look like a big boy now? (sniff, sniff)
