Two + Years in the Making

We finally took Jackson for his very FIRST haircut!! 

Yes, he's practically 2.5 years old, but he finally has enough hair in the back that he was needing a little trim!  For the past few weeks, I have been getting tired of looking at out-of-control long hair as well as seeing the beginnings of a mullet!

The before pictures--the above picture is right after I wet his hair and combed it, so it actually looks somewhat decent in the picture.  Five minutes after "fixing" it, his hair in the back is all over the place and just looks ridiculous (to me, at least).  I also wanted to get the hair around his ears trimmed so we would no longer have to brush it behind his ears.

Getting started and my favorite picture! 

Zach would NOT let me take his little boy to a "beauty shop" to get his hair cut, so we went to one of the guys that cuts Zach's hair.  Zach got his hair cut first hoping that would help Jackson, but no luck.  Jackson would not sit in the barber's chair or wear the cape, so we stood him up in a chair while Zach held him.

Just in case we needed a distraction, I grabbed a handful of suckers on the way out of the house!

And the after pictures!

A bit more (actually, a lot more) was taken off than I had planned, so it will probably be another 2 years before he needs another haircut . . . and for that haircut, I'm thinking I'll sneak him to the lady that does my hair
