1st haircut

We'd been putting off cutting Landon's hair for weeks. Months, really. It had gotten so long that his bangs were in his eyes, the sides hung down well past his ears, and it was starting to look, well, ratty at times. So after much convincing, Justin finally gave in and agreed to get it cut. We took him to Snip Its at the Avenues Viera, where they specialize in children's cuts (and it shows in the price, but it's worth it). Here he is before the big cut:



As soon as the lady sprayed water on his head, the fussing began. It was cold and it startled him, so the whole thing started off on the wrong foot.



They put on a video for him to watch on a little TV right in front of the cutting station, but Landon was not amused. Justin ended up having to hold his arms down, and I had to hold his head when she got to the front. The stylist(? barber?) still managed to cut her finger. We felt bad, but she said it happens at  least weekly. At least it wasn't his ear!



The whole thing only lasted about 5 minutes, and when he was done, he got an animal cracker for being such a good boy. And we got a certificate and a lock of his beautiful red hair. We weren't terribly happy with the cut, but it will grow back. I just can't get over what a big boy he looks like! Here he is enjoying his animal cracker.
