Big Boy Haircut

We had our first haircut today for the little man (18 mos old). It has been a battle between V and I, V not wanting the haircut yet, and me being driven insane by the scraggly mess. So we went today and things went south as soon as we sat in the chair and put on the little cape. No amount of toys did the trick, so off came the cape. Still, not on board, so I turned to my old favorite, the lollipop. Worked like a charm!

Instantly, the tears begin to dry, the lollipop not to be removed for the duration of the haircut. This is his first lollipop, he will never let it loose.

Sure, shear me, do whatever you have to do, as long as I have my lollipop.

Uh-oh, the lollipop finished before the haircut, better chance of distraction with toys once the goodwill of the lollipop has been established.

What a cute little man! Dad is going to love it!
