The Sweet Barbershop

I have been cutting Aiden's hair since he was born and have begun to cut Liam's as well. I must admit that poor Aiden was tortured with a bowl cut for quite some time as I clearly had no idea what the heck I was doing. However, the kid screamed bloody murder every time we attempted to get his hair professionally cut, which was way more torture then me just doing it at home and him living with a horrible hair cut.

Need I say more???

Needless to say, my hair cutting skills have come a long way, although of course they are no where near perfected. However, I must say I have saved our family hundreds of dollars in hair cuts since my boy's hair grows like a weed and needs to be cut every 2 weeks! I actually enjoy doing it when he behaves and sits still. Otherwise, it's a complete and utter nightmare that stresses me out to the max and makes him cry like someone is trying to murder him. I literally have him sit on the living room floor on a towel in front of the tv with cartoons on with hopes of him sitting still and letting me do my job. When this miraculously happens, I think I can do a pretty dang good job for the most part and the results are my handsome little man looking so grown up! When this doesn't happen, I literally have to hold him down while he kicks and screams trying to chop away the best I can. The results can often be dangerous with a total botched hair cut that only embarrasses myself. Of course, he could care less.

Today was a big day at the Sweet Barbershop! For the first time Aiden let me trim around his ears and his neck with the clippers!!! O-M-G!!! This my friends is a miracle!!! He's always been very sensitive to noise, so if I even attempted to come near him with the clippers he would run. Today, this was not the case, once again showing me how much he's growing up and more accepting to change. Hats off to Aiden!!! For the first time ever he doesn't have a single sign of side burns or neck fuzz! YAY!!! You just don't know how much this excites me and I know he was pretty dang proud of himself too.
