Handsome's 1st Barber Visit

So I usually cut the kids' hair but since moving my clipper set is still in a misplaced box it seems and I've been stuck with scissors which is fine for C's hair but not so much on J's (with my skill set anyway). J's hair had gotten pretty thick and out of control so I decided to bite the bullet once and take him to a professional just to get him a cooler (temperature wise) cut for the Summer.

After a stop by the bank today we went to a random Great Clips. J was excited. Mommy was nervous. But both of us were excited about a random motorcycle in the parking lot with tons of Batman memorabilia on it. I went through a Batman collection stage and J is all about super heroes right now. Well when we went in the salon we were even more surprised to meet the barber who would do J's cut who was also covered in Batman gear and even had an apron for J to wear with the Batman symbol! The fun continued as we found out this guy was the Batman for Warner Brothers at Six Flags Over Georgia for several years and would do events all over the region. He had many pics of himself in the Batman outfit and with the car. J was in awe.

So not only did my little boy (who looks so big now!) get to say he got a new haircut, he got it from Batman! How cool is that :) (and the story/experience did help Mommy's nerves a little).

And here's little man's/Handsome's new Summer hairdo. I wasn't ready to let them chop/shave it all off, especially since I love J's little surfer style flips in his hair naturally, but both J and I love the result. Doesn't my baby boy look so much older though? Can't believe he'll be 4 next month *sniff sniff*

Haircut Day

Today was a haircut day. I cut C and J's hair. Though I guess I should say I cut J's I trim and style C's and then both of them restyle through flipping and bouncing all over the place shortly after of course.

Today was a hair cut day though. All my babies so far seem to be destined to be baldies for the first year or so. Well they have all started off with dark blonde/light brown hair (like I did actually, daddy had white blonde) and then that fell out and they were bald then got the blonde hair which doesn't show up on camera usually :P E obviously is nowhere near hair cut time but C's hair has picked up thickness (just like Mommy's did) and J's is finally thick enough for clippers instead of scissors!

Today I got to shape J's hair a lot more and was once again reminded how much more satisfying it is to cut boy hair than girl. I used to complain about the price difference in hubby's hair cuts versus my own (which is substantial) but his hair and J's actually look cut after they have it done (though that has to be much more often of course versus my twice a year or so).

Anyway though the haircuts turned out well and they cooperated for the most part. Here's a pic of both, and of E being her smiley self (though she was more disappointed she didn't get to go in the bathroom for the hair cutting than missing the hair cut itself of course.

My little drama queen, who has hair!

Finally got a good picture of Miss E's barely there hair, but it was actually during taking pics of one of her over the top 1 minute dramatic fake cry filled outbursts. You can see in the first pic a glimpse of the drama and the expression that she is definitely not amused to find out once again Mommy sees through her ruse. Unexpected bonus to these pics though, her hair actually showed up on camera :P All my babies so far have the barely there blond hair just like I did and and though hubby had a bit more hair early on his was see through blond too so I'm still not expecting my little baldy to have enough hair for styling any time soon but it's still an accomplishment that it's showing up at all now lol so I felt it was worth documenting.
