The Haircut

Recently, Hunter's locks were getting out of control. They were so long, he could twirl a strand of hair with his finger and leave it in a knot. 

We knew giving him a hair cut would be rough, but we didn't know just how rough.

Let the games begin...


Phase 1: back-side.


Phase 2: still working on the back-side (it took forever).


Phase 3: try not to cut off Hunter's fingers (we wouldn't let go of his hair).


Phase 4: chocolate binky. Andrea had a beautiful idea and remembered our neighbor had just given us 6 chocolate doughnuts the day before. To calm him down, we let him dip it in the chocolate frosting until every last spec of frosting was devoured. He LOVED it. 


Phase 5: sideburns.


Phase 6: doughnut may be gone, but Curious George had him on the edge of his seat.


The finished product. I won't say it's the best haircut I've ever given, but it was probably the most memorable.

It looks great! I can't believe you cut his hair Jason, I had no idea you had those mad skills.

Jana, I wouldn't call them skills. I would call it "getting the job done". Luckily, it all ended well (it will grow back).
