EA, MC and Will’s hair has gotten out of control lately. Will has been in desperate need of a first haircut. I have hesitated to do anything about that because he is growing up too fast as it is. I didn’t want to help things along by cutting his baby hair. The girls have also been in need of a trim for their bangs.
I talked to my sister-in-law about this a couple of weeks ago and she offered to help me cut their hair when she comes to visit over Thanksgiving. But it has been getting worse by the day, so I decided to go ahead and take things into my own hands.
Saturday morning we went out on an excursion to the PX for a haircutting kit. And after lunch, I worked up enough nerve to open it up and get to work.
The kids were so good! They were actually excited for me to cut their hair and sat very still.
I was so surprised with how well they all turned out, especially Will’s. So much better than the time I cut my sister’s hair when we were kids….that was a true disaster!
He’s showing me his nose in the picture. It’s one of his favorite things to do lately!

You did awesome! The first time I cut my son’s hair, was not so great. But, now I usually do pretty good.

M – good job on the hair. Bangs are SO hard. Be sure to hide the scissors now – this the age where they’ll experiment with each other. I stopped trimming the girls bangs myself last summer when after one trim they wanted to find the scissors and cut MY hair. And I don’t keep toddler scissors for them – only the real deal so it could get dangerous, so now we only go somewhere to get their hair cut.

Great tackle!!
Kate says
Wow, great job. I am so impressed. My husband is the one in charge of cutting our kiddos’ hair because I can’t cut in a straight line to save my life.
