The worst haircut ever!

Sorry about the blogging hiatus.

I guess I've been too busy and when I'm not too busy I'm too tired to form a coherent sentence.

Here we have photos of the worst haircut ever.

I have been cutting my boys' hair for quite some time now and for the most part I think I do a pretty good job. Especially considering I haven't ever had formal training.

The problems with cutting this boy's hair are three fold -

1) He won't hold still for anything. I've tried bribing, holding him, having a show on he likes, having a story told to him, having him set on our "wonder horse", nothing works.

2) He has his dad's hair, stick strait and if it's too short it sticks out everywhere.

3) He has two cowlicks in the back, so if I'm not careful he ends up with an "Alfalfa" do.

With these three obstacles I have resigned myself to the fact that his haircut will never be perfectly even or perfectly straight and his hair will never be perfectly coiffed.

I'm ok with that but this week we reached a whole new level of uneven.I had the brilliant idea of having him set on the counter and watch in the mirror while I trimmed his hair. That turned out to be so far beyond a bad idea I don't even know what to call it.

Every time I got close to him with scissors he would jerk away from me and yell, "What are you doing with those things? Don't cut my ears off! You're going to cut my ears off!"

Then after I'd cut some hair he'd say, "Let me see. Do I still have ears?"

No matter how much I talked and tried to explain he wasn't having any of it.

Finally I gave up and this is what we got.

It is much worse in person and looks like he gave himself a haircut.

Luckily he's a boy and as my husband says," the differance between a good haircut and a bad haircut on a boy is just a couple of weeks."

So, in a few days I'll try again.....just not infront of the mirror.
