So we finally had to give in and give Landon his first haircut.
I always had this random memory in the back of my head of a Full House episode in which coiffure-obsessed Uncle Jesse experiences anxiety when the twins get their first trim. They find this cute little kids' haircut place where the chairs are plastic dinosaurs and the barber is a quirky old man (aka Dave Coulier in a bad bald cap and bad accent). Anyone else seen it? Anyone? Just me, then. Moving on...
Well places like that don't exist here. So it was up to the hubs and I - with the help of prerecorded Oswald show and a confining high chair - to roll up our sleeves. It turned out as well as it could given the small hands wacking us out of the way while he weaved and bobbed - all while maintaining direct eye contact with his favorite show.
I don't have any good photos since we were so focused on not pulling a Picasso on Landon's ear, but I have a video of his from a couple weeks ago at the play gym versus his new 'do while working on his stair moves. And yes, I did keep a few locks... I loved those little curls in the back and am looking forward to them growing back!
