First Haircut

Today we took Kyle for his first haircut.  His hair was starting to get in his eyes and over his ears.  So it was time!  I really really love his hair longer, so we only had them take off enough to get it out of his face & ears, but she took quite a bit off the back (bye bye curls!).

Here's a before shot:


Kyle was initially a bit timid in the firetruck,

but very quickly warmed up to the idea when he realized it had a steering wheel

He got giddy with excitement as he turned the wheel and bounced up and down in the chair

 

I think he thought he was on a ride at Disney!

He held very still as she trimmed his hair

He watched her with his serious face taking in every cut she made

He didn't even mind the trimmers!

He had a personal TV playing a disney show and at one point he spotted Pluto and said "dog dog."  We were quite impressed because he's never seen Pluto on TV (we don't let him watch TV) so he must've remembered him from Disney?  Or he just knows what dogs look like!

Ta-da!  All done!  How handsome is he?

Apparently he wasn't ready to be all done though.  He got upset when she took his "cape" off and started clapping his hands (this is his sign for "more").  

I think he had a great time and I'm quite happy with how well it turned out.  He looks so much older now!
