When we try to cut it the normal way, you know, with scissors, he absolutely freaks out. I don't know if it is the sound of his hair being cut or what, but he screams, and screams loud. Big alligator tears fall freely, and ultimately leaves Aunt Tee-Tee (as I've been fondly renamed) feeling horrible.
So, on Friday morning, Ashley decided it was "that time" again. He needed another haircut. (Big sigh from Aunt Tee-Tee) Well, this time, we decided to go get hair clippers, maybe that wouldn't be so bad? We got him used to the buzzing noise and thought that he might just think we were brushing his hair, since we put one of the guards on it. Well, as soon as I put those clippers next to his head, he realized our plan. He started blocking me with his arm, balling up his fists, screaming and shaking!!! I've never seen this little fella so angry! Well, at that point, Ashley knew I needed reinforcements, so she held his little flailing arms and steadied his head that he kept trying to shake back and forth. Funny how moms seem to be able to grow extra arms when needed:) We buzzed his head with a hair guard so it wouldn't be too short, but at the same time we could get it even all over. 30 minutes and 4 Advil later, it was complete and he looks precious. Needless to say, I was NOT his favorite person for the rest of the day, but by Saturday, all was forgotten and he loved me again.

Looks like the events of the day wore him out a little, huh? They wore me out too! Who knew giving a haircut could be so tiring! But, all is well in Austin's world again, that is until next time.

So cute. I love his new haircut, you did a wondermous job. He looks like a lil man now. Thank you again. And we will do it again in a month :) Since you are so fond of it.
Hey Christie,
I love the picture of the kiss! So sweet!
I cut my husband's hair. It comes around all too often! I take Luke to get his hair cut though. I was never very good at cutting his! Plus, we have this little hair studio that has an airplane and a firetruck for kids to sit in and then they put a movie on a big screen in front of him. He LOVES it and doesn't want to leave! However, I think most little boys are just like Austin. I wonder why they are so afraid? The only place Luke didn't like was the barber shop with a man. He likes the ladies, lol.
Great job on the hair cut!!
