Liam's first big boy haircut

Liam's hair has been growing really fast lately.  Last week he woke up one day and I could have sworn he had been sitting in his crib styling his hair just like the Donald.  P and I knew it was time to chop those fluffy locks off.    Liam has always had such sweet little curls in the back, but they were getting really long and we were tired of combing food out of them after every meal.

I took Liam to Kids Kuts in Encinitas, to see the family hair dresser, Heather.  I had Laney's hair trimmed first so he could watch, but it didn't help.  I tried putting Liam in the race car seat at the salon, but he attempted to dive back to my arms so I thought better of it.  I ended up holding him facing me so Heather could work quickly.

Liam cried after she spritzed his hair with water, and then was pretty good for the rest of the cut.     Heather worked quickly and pretty soon Liam had gone from shaggy to spiffy.  He wasn't particularly fond of the clippers she used to clean up his hairline, but at least he didn't cry when she did them.  (probably thanks to her quick thinking at the beginning of the haircut as she handed him a Dum Dum Pop).  Smart girl!

Kudos to Heather for such a quick and adorable haircut.
