Another First for Miles...and Me!!!

Last night I did it...I cut Miles' hair..his FIRST hair cut!!! I have been thinking about cutting it for a while...It was starting to get really shaggy in the back.

I wish you could have been in my head the last couple of weeks...it would have gone something like this...(PICTURE...a "positive" angel and a "negative" angel sitting in my head) Cut it...No!!! You can do it!!! What if it looks awful??? You can't just "fix" a boys "bad" hair cut!!! You have cut hair lots of times...but this is Miles...my baby!!! I don't want to mess up his hair!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!! What if I start and he won't hold still??? The yo-yo just kept going!!!

What did I do you ask??? I came up with a plan!!!

When we got home...I fed him, changed his diaper, sat him in his Bumbo, and gave him a biter biscuit(bribery gets you everywhere...with kids anyway!!!). I organized the different levels for the clippers...they were all in a neat little row!!! I had the scissors ready for the top of his head. See...I wanted to fade the sides and take a little off the top!!! I took a DEEP breath and just started clipping!!!

He did so good!!! He didn't fuss the whole time I was clipping or cutting...it was after I was done that he started to protest!!! You probably think he is frowning cause he didn't like his New Hair-Do!!! But I think he was just so ready to get down...and show off what a great job his Mom did..that he just couldn't stand it!!!

All in all I think I did OK!!!

Incidentally...I think Tenley has her sights set on some alone time with the clippers!!! YIKES!!!

You did great!! Miles has more hair than Kate! You gave Luke his first cut too. I think you are a pro by now. I liked the photo show.

Did you get your nails done? They look pretty.
