Last "first" haircut.........

So this last year has been a lot of "last firsts". Let me explain. Since Ben is our last child, its been a bit sad as we reach certain milestones. The "last" time any of our kids have their "first" Christmas, "last" time they will "first" crawl, "last" time they will have their "first" steps and so on, you all get the picture. It's sad in a way, but also exciting, because we also experienced the "last" time a baby will "first" spit, poop, or pee on me. The "last" time a baby will "first" sleep though the night, the "last" "first" head bang while learning to crawl or walk.

We recently took Ben to get his "first" haircut. We went to a place near us called Cookie Cutters. They specialize in children's haircuts. They did a fabulous job. I was quite surprised he sat still long enough to get it done. The place lets you pick out a video to watch to try and help the child stay still. Ben has not been to interested in movies or T.V. except for the few times he will glance at the T.V. when he hears music playing on a commercial. We picked out an Elmo something and he liked it for a few minutes. Then Brett and I tried desperately to entertain him long enough so the haircut could be completed. We must have looked quite strange making funny faces, singing and dancing around in the salon. The haircut turned out cute I think.

This is a shot a few days before. Love those baby "wisps" on the sides.

This is the little playground they had for while we were waiting.

Check out how long his hair was.

In the little car. He wouldn't wear the cape so he was completely covered in hair.

Getting it all done.

The final result.
