The Second Haircut

When we went to Charlotte this past weekend, we realized that Evan was REALLY overdue for a haircut.  We got his first haircut, and, at the time, I never really thought about the fact that he would have to continue to get haircuts fairly often for the foreseeable future. 

Fortunately, Gram knew of a Great Clips nearby and Daddy was a bit shaggy as well.  So, we headed on over.  Evan had been a bit unsure at his first haircut, so we wanted to make sure it was a good experience.  First, Daddy got his haircut and Evan watched.  He thought it was quite interesting.

Next, it was Evan's turn.  We set him down in the chair on his little booster seat and he was just fine.  However, he started to fuss when she started brushing and cutting around his ears because they were ticklish.  So, we found the most interesting toy we could in their toy box and crossed our fingers.  It was actually the most fascinating toy ever, so we were in luck.  Evan was entranced for the duration of the haircut.

Afterward, he got a lollipop which he wasn't sure about at first, but it didn't take him long to get the hang of it.  Then, we gave him the real reward and took him for a sunny afternoon at the park.  I think this haircut made a much bigger difference than the last one.  He really looks like a big boy now, yikes!
