before. during. after.

gavin got his first hair cut yesterday @ 15 1/2 months old.  he doesn't have a lot of hair, but the hair he does have was getting a little scruffy.  i didn't expect this to go well.  it started with tears and a death grip on me.  i pretty much had to force him into the chair.  the fact that it was a tractor, and he could "drive" didn't matter one bit.  the sucker that the man tried bribing him with didn't matter either. and then, what i didn't anticipate... the clippers.  sent my boy over the edge.  the noise, the invasion of his personal space... not happy.  once the clippers were put away, he settled down a bit.  i was able to capture his attention with the Thomas the Train behind him and Nemo on the TV screen in front of him. then when it was all over, he lost it again.  "save me, mommy!  save me."  i hated seeing him so upset, but the end result was definitely worth it.  i can't get enough of his handsome little head.
