The Haircut

Today, We took miles to have his first Haircut.

Yes, The boy is almost 30 months old, but Kyle's family has a tradition that children don't get their hair cut until they are at least 2 years old, and using full sentences... Miles was officially eligible for his first haircut a few months ago, but we wanted to wait until it was a little warmer out.

Sooooo, this morning we woke up, ate breakfast and explained to miles what was about to go down. He seemed to be okay with it, he even said un-huh when we asked him if he was going to get a haircut today. After breakfast and 50 +minutes of everyone getting ready we went to The Hair Cuttery on Roosevelt Boulevard. We walked in, told the lady what we wanted and she went straight to work.

First , they washed and conditioned his hair really good with Paul Mitchell Products (who does he think he is??). By now we had a bit of a fan base growing with all the older Hispanic women complementing him on his behaviour (if they only knew) his curly hair and even his eye lashes... Oh Give me a break

Then, it was time to comb it out. He was unusually calm. Normally when I'm trying to do anything to his hair, he's squirming around, trying to change the subject, asking for stuff... but today he was just chilling.

And then came the First Cut! I seriously thought I was going to crap my pants. I mean, I knew what we were here for, but I wasn't expecting it to really happen. It's like he's really a big boy now. Part of me wanted to cry while the other part of me wanted to choke the woman for cutting his hair. Yes, It was an emotional event for me....

A Few More Cuts .... Gina - the stylist - was great! She encouraged Miles all the way telling him that he would be handsomer than he already was, and that no one would recognize the new little man when he walked in the door. If your kid ever needs a scissor cut, I highly recommend Gina! VERY PROFESSIONAL!!

And still more cutting - Look at how calm he looks... Show OFF! - Yes I know the picture is not in focus!

And now look at my baby boy! Looking like a real live little man. Its amazing to see him transform right before my eyes. I mean, he literally went from looking like 2 year old to looking like a four year old in a matter of minutes
