Dylan’s Clipper Cut

A few days ago Dylan smashed his breakfast of bananas all over his super fine hair. I was struggling to get the mess of banana dread locks out of his tangled mop and I decided it was time for a hair cut. I  have been cutting Thade’s hair for quite some time, but Dylan is another story… I’ve given him only one hair cut, a scissor cut, that left him pretty grumpy, and me pretty stressed. Oh well stresses aside, it has to be done.

I set Dylan up in the kitchen, in his high chair, along with plenty of toys. I thought the kitchen would be the easiest place to clean up, and he loves hanging out in the kitchen anyway… I grabbed my trusty clippers, and crossed my fingers.

At first Dylan wasn’t too upset, and then all of the sudden came the kicking, screaming, and the tears. He was so mad at Mommy for cutting his long and messy hair, but there was no turning back. I channeled my inner “Shear Genius” and completed the cut.

I think that his cut turned out great, and now he can smash whatever he wants into his new short hair, it won’t tangle and make a mess. He even liked it just a bit, he kept running his fingers across his noggin and saying, “Oooo”.

Mommy is sorry that she mad you so mad though…

  3. Thanks Vicki! Glad to see that you are doing great, I bet you are doing an amazing job with the site too. That is wonderful that you are helping so many others, keep up the great work!

    My little one is growing up so fast, and boy was he mad at me. I think that he likes his new hair cut though 🙂 I still have to cut Thade’s hair this weekend, he wants a new hair cut before school starts. Thade is a little more cooperative though.

    I hope that you have a great weekend, and sending big hugs your way 🙂

  4. Thanks Susan! He is a little cutie, and how I wish you were here to see just how mad he was. I swear he was the color eggplant by the time I was finished with his hair cut. I know it will get easier with time 😉 I think the cut turned out pretty good, and I’ve still got Thade’s hair to cut this weekend too.

    I hope that you are having a great weekend, and sending big hugs your way!

  5. Thanks Nana! It was quite a morning, and Dylan was so mad at me. He seems to like his new hair though. Now that all of his long hair is gone, he is no longer smashing breakfast into his noggin. I still have to cut Thade’s hair this weekend, he wants a new look before he goes back to school.

    Thanks again for the 1/2 birthday wishes, and sending big hugs your way from the little guys and me 🙂
