Numero 4

Yesterday, Caden went for haircut numero 4. This child has some serious hair that grows like crazy! He also has several pretty unfortunate cowlicks, so when his hair gets long he can look very unloved and unkept very quickly. I have been putting off haircut numero 4 because haircut numero 3 wasn't a pleasant experience. It involved Caden clinging to me, face buried in my shoulder, while I sat in the chair with him. Screaming (him, not me. Although I felt like it!) and both of us covered with hair. Good times. So, when JZ suggested haircut numero 4, I gladly sent THEM to Lollilocks. Without me. I went to Target instead.

Caden and his Daddy of the Year now have a new activity to do together - haircuts! From what I hear, Caden was excellent. JZ gave him a sucker ("auckers" are his favorite treat!) as they walked in the door, and he sat in the chair like a big boy while the nice lady gave him a trim. JZ reports he didn't cry, only fussed a little when they put the cape on him, and said "All done!" twice before they were actually done.
Not only did my fantastic hubby take CP all the way to Boulder to get his haircut by himself, but he took pictures too!

Not exactly a happy subject, but not screaming either. Notice the death grip on the "aucker"...

So handsome!

The only place that Joey will let cut his hair is a place called The Hairy Elephant. That place puts the kids in cars/trucks/trains/etc....and turns on a TV that is right in front of them with a DVD that they want (or video game). They also wash their hair with yummy shampoo like grape, chocolate, cupcake, etc. . .
