The First Cut

Luke had his very first hair cut this past week.
I've been meaning to cut it the past little while, but have been putting it off.I feared it would be a traumatic little episode for him, but he didn't mind at all-lets hope it stays that way for future cuts. I let him hold the shaver while it was on (I am not good enough or dare to just use scissors), so he'd get used to it. When I started buzzing I gave him a little dumb-dumb sucker and he didn't even notice what was going on.

I've never cut hair before, except for Matt's, but that's easy all I do is buzz the whole thing.
It was easy, but I only cut it in the back.
So you really can't even tell that he lost much hair and I forgot to take a before picture. But it was long in the back and starting to become a little mullet. Matt thinks I need to blend it more, but I'll probably just wait until he needs a hair cut again.

McKay sure wasn't as good as Luke. I did it outside on our patio but every time I was about to snip, he'd turn his head to look at something. Next time I'll try the sucker.

Jonah's fear of hair cuts was from age 3-4, now he's fine again.
I think I've cut Lydia's hair at least twice, maybe three times. I have to cut the boys every few weeks so I just scan over hers for crazy long ones, mulletish ones or whatever. It's growing in really even and thick though.
