First Haircut!

After nearly 21 months, we finally took Henry to get his first haircut recently.  It was, frankly, way overdue.  His hair was getting in his eyes and was a tangled mess in the back.  When wet, it was at least three inches or so down his back.  I was beginning to get concerned he would be confused for a little girl.  So, anyway, it was time.

We took him to a children's haircut place.  I had seen it months earlier when we ate at a restaurant in the same shopping area.  After checking out a few online reviews, I decided to give it a go.  And it did not disappoint!  Not only was it adorably decorated, but the staff members were great with Henry and knew what they were doing.  We were impressed.

Henry got to sit in a firetruck for his cut!  He loved the chair.  It had ladders on the side he could pull up and down and a bell on the front he could ring.  Plus, there was a tv over the chair, and for a kid who never gets to watch tv, that was a real treat.

Looking back, his hair looks even longer to me than I remember it being!  You can see the frizz, too.

Beautiful curls.  I knew most of them would disappear with the cut, which was sad.

 

 

Getting ready!

Look how proud he looks!

The tempting bell.  The poor hairdresser had the patience of a saint to cut his hair while he moved all around!

Checking himself out in the mirror.

What a handsome boy!

We will definitely head back to this place for Henry's next cut.  They gave us a souvenir photo and an envelope with a lock of his hair to keep.  I can't wait to show it to Henry when he gets older.
