making a man

this morning, i decided today was gonna be kendal's day to get that first haircut. so, i looked online and found out the kids cuts place in wake forest was closed on mondays. so, i called a different salon (that specializes in kids cuts) in briar creek and they did NOT take appointments (which works out great for me). so after lunch, we headed out to west raleigh! here is the photo log of the day. i know it is a lot of pictures, but it is funny how each one is so important! kendal getting his haircut day lunch of mac and cheese: taking his haircut day mid-day nap on the way over: he HATED the chair. he must have thought i was gonna leave him (which i was never more than an armslength away). he cried for about half of the haircut, so that is why his eyes are all red for most of the photos. BEFORE: she wet it with a spray bottle and a comb (he was still crying)... and started snipping away! he is calming down somewhat by this point: i found the bubble blower and that distracted him enough for her to finish. i even gave him the blower (which was a ladybug) and he liked to hold it. something about having that trimmed up neck makes him look like a little man! and don't forget the cut-out ears... BUZZZZZZZ (he actually liked this part, i think. he sat rather still! ok! this is it! here is my little boy! WHEW.. he was glad to be outside again!
