First Haircut!

So we bit the bullet and took Truman to Cool Cuts 4 Kids on Saturday. We just couldn't bear the mullet any longer, and we wanted him to look spiffy for out upcoming trip to NJ.



We lucked out by getting Irene. She's obviously dealt with a lot of first haircutees. Even the fire engine seat couldn't fool Truman. Something big was about to happen, and he probably wasn't going to like it.



Trying to make a run for it.



Watching a Bob the Builder video, which he's never seen before. He didn't seem to like it. (We actually suggested Shrek the Third because he had caught a few minutes of this once and seemed mesmerized, but the Cool Cuts people clearly thought we didn't know what we were talking about and said, "No, that's too old for him. Let's try Bob the Builder.")



Things start going downhill, so we bring out the pacifier. (Things actually got worse, but Paul thought it best not to photograph that part.)



Dapper, but not happy.


Survivors of the first haircut.



A recap: Before......



.... and after.


Not a big difference, but a good one.

It is fun to see the story of the haircut from start to finish...for us, but not for Truman. He really does look very dapper.
