You know how hummingbirds sort of hover in one place but never actually hold still? How it looks like you could reach out and grab one, but the moment you tried, you know it would dart to one side or the other with those jerky little movements?Now imagine that hummingbird has a full head of hair, and you need to give it a trim. Now you can picture what it's like to attempt to give a four month old a haircut.
Spike looks a lot better now that his long locks have been tamed a little. This is his fourth haircut since he was born, so I guess I should be getting pretty good at it by now. I still can't believe how much hair he has. Trimming it is not my favorite thing. I understand now why those children's salons charge so much. You try holding a pair of shears that close to a kid's head and see if your palms don't get a little sweaty.
Oh Christina I definitely feel your agony!!! Wish we lived closer so we could help each other on haircutting days! I've had some great hair cutting adventures with John Caden.
ReplyDeleteI can sort of relate...Trying to pin John down to brush his teeth, comb his hair...much less STYLE it or trim it is like trying to work on a big hyper rabbit!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy little Caleb's haircuts while you can. One day he will not allow you to cut his hair or even walk into the barber shop with him.
