Another First . . .

It was long overdue, but we finally took Cael to get his first official haircut. I trimmed his "patch" when he was a few months old, but I don't really count that as a "haircut." When we got there we had to wait a minute so Cael was playing on the little playset they had and when they were ready to cut his hair, we had to tear him away. But fortunately they had a Backyardigans video for Cael to watch, a car to sit in and some toys to play with. Initially we didn't have to work hard to keep him happy because he was loving the Backyardigans, but then the stylist pulled out her clippers and told us to help get Cael to look down. Breakdown! He was either frightened by the clippers or didn't want to look down or something, but we are talking about some serious drama. He was fighting Shaun so hard that Shaun really couldn't keep Cael's head down.

After it was all said and done, however, we had a very handsome baby boy. I miss his curls, but it's nice that he no longer looks like an orphan-child.

Here are a few before and after photos for you to check out.
