Baby's First Haircut

This is the before:

Well, this isn't technically his first haircut. Technically, I cut those last 15 wispy last hairs that hadn't fallen out - on Easter. But tonight after a terrible mommy job haircut this morning in the highchair, it was finally time to get it cut. We debated about going to Sean's place or the "kiddie cuts" place and we decided we should leave it up to the professionals. Cool Cuts 4 Kids it was. We went to the one at the Paradise Valley Mall and I think we made it at a good time since it was pretty empty. While we were able to blow bubbles at Patrick, flash Elmo movies in front of him and sit him in a little yellow car barber chair, he still screamed and yelled and Sean had to hold his head. But...we did it.

And here's the after:For those of you who don't know already, they give you this nifty little souvenir card with a polaroid and some hair to take home and put in their baby book. Pretty cute. You can click on the picture and you can see Patrick a bit better when it goes to full size.
It's super cute but I'm still mourning the loss of his natural punk rocker hair style. However, this is much more polished and maybe we won't be hearing as much of "wow, look at that baby's hair!" exclamations anymore from strangers. You'd think we hear "oh what a cute baby" but no it's "check out his hair." So, we'll have to see what people think.


After the haircut we went to 31 flavors and let Patrick have a little lick. I must say I was surprised that he liked Sean's Reese's somethingerother vs my Strawberry. I'm just hoping he remembers happy ice cream and haircuts instead of crying and haircuts. $1 scoops on Tuesdays...cool.

I think that was the best haircut story I have ever heard. Patrick looks so cute in the barber shop car seat. He's ready for summer and birthday pictures.

He's looking sharp. Summer is all about the easy hair. :)
