It was time for another haircut for Elijah. He knows the drill now, and is pretty good for haircuts. He still objects to the water at the beginning, and having the scissors too close to his ears, but he generally does very well.
The mop before we started. Wow, this kid has a lot of hair!
Hair wet, snacks at hand, watching
Cars - he's ready!
All done! I went pretty short this time - he's already been getting a sweaty head at gymnastics and the park and it's not even warm out yet! It should make washing his hair a lot easier too - it takes an awful lot of water to rinse shampoo out of hair that thick.
Molly sat in her seat and had a snack and watched the show, and will proudly tell you that she got a haircut too, but I didn't cut hers this time - she didn't need it. One of these days (or years) the top and sides will catch up with the back; until then I guess I'll just trim the back when it gets scraggly and not worry about the rest of it.

A very handsome haircut for a fine young man! Hope all is well, we enjoyed seeing Elijah while he was staying with Uncle Luke and Aunt Jackie.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Julie! I don't have the patience (nor does Tyler) to use scissors anymore, I just take Matt's clippers go all over with the No. 4 guard. ;) I miss his long(er)soft hair, but whenever it starts growing over his ears, I know it's time for another quick cut. :)
ReplyDeleteanne, i've been wishing i could use the clippers - it would be soooo much faster. but elijah HATES them! he's not a fan of loud noises anyway. so we just stick with the scissors for now. he'll have to go with daddy and get a "real" haircut (from a professional) in may before cameron's wedding. i hope that he will let them use the clippers a little. eventually we'll get there.
