Well, we finally decided to get Nathan's haircut for the 1st time today. I was a little hesitant about getting his haircut because I loved his curls in the back, but I, well I should say Leland and I thought it was time to get it cut. His hair was getting long by his ears especially, so this way we thought his hair would be evenly cut all around and it would grow in better. We went into Great Clips and much to our luck they were not busy so we got in within 5 minutes. The hair dresser preferred for Nathan to sit on a booster seat, and I thought to myself, I wonder how long this is going to last..................well about 2.2 seconds later Nathan was reaching out his arms for me saying, "momma", so he ended up sitting on my lap. He didn't have a problem when she put the little cape around him, it was when she began combing his hair is when he began crying. At that point he wanted nothing to do with the lady cutting his hair and just wanted to jump off my lap. Next she sprayed his hair with water and the look on his face was like, "what is this stuff she is putting on my hair?"
Parker, being the nice big brother, tried to distract Nathan by placing a mirror in front of him to make him look at himself. That only helped for a short period of time. So Parker then grabbed a bag of fruit snacks for Nathan to eat. That helped some, but he was so wiggly, it was hard to hold him down. All in all, Nathan did well and now he doesn't look like my baby boy anymore, but a toddler. I was sad to see his curls go, but at least we got his hair clippings to save and Leland captured some pictures.
