Shave and a Haircut...well, not a shave

We've had a miserable time trying to get Jake's haircut. He started off as such a good little boy- you could feed him a few fruit snacks and he'd sit there patiently. Since about 18 months it has been going steadily downhill. The last trip we made was to a family oriented hair place. There were cars to sit on while he got his haircut, videos to watch, toys to place with and it STILL took 2 people plus mom to give him a haircut.

I know he's a better boy than that, but I refuse to endure another trip like that. Not to mention the ridiculous price I paid for all the extra kids spoiling. So, I did what most cheapskate moms do. I bought some clippers and decided to do it myself.


Why not. He's too young to complain yet anyway! : )

Turns out, I'm not bad at this. At least, I don't think so! Plus, Jake was pretty good. He wasn't happy at first, but he had popcorn, iPod movies, and dad to keep him occupied. He sat STILL, he didn't SQUIRM, and he let me cut as long as I wanted.....

I am so stinkin' happy. Not to mention I saved money!

So enjoy the pictures, and if anyone would like to know what sizes I used on the clippers, or what went into it I am happy to share. For now, I will bask in the glory of my handsome dude's stylin' haircut....
