The place where we went is essentially a bribery/toy store with a couple of really simple barber chairs in the back. Fortunately, we walked in without an appointment and were out of there in 11 minutes (according to the parking meter). Tommy was hesitant, of course, but once the lollipop came into play we were able to get things done. There was whining and protestation, but we're happy to report no real tears were shed. He refused the cape and the blow dryer so by the end he, and his lollipop, were covered in hair but that's easily fixed. Not quite the same as a home cut from Great Grandpa Lou, but it got the job done.
Before... in case you didn't realize how long those curls actually were!

For the baby book
an important text distracts him
Not a big fan of the clippers over his ear
After!
It's great. It still looks wavy but it looks thicker and more grown up. A success!

Very handsome! Watch out ladies.
Believe it or not, those few clips made a big difference. Good call!
What a handsome little man!
That's priceless. I'm glad it was not too traumatic for either of you.
Here's a question for the 21st Century Mom:
Are you keeping a baby book for Tommy? Or just printing out the blog?
Greg- hilarious question! Admittedly, if I ever get around to filling in Tommy's baby book (yes it exists and his his birth details written in it) then I will assuredly have to refer to the blog for details. I also have a keepsake box where we have tossed his most important artifacts (coming home outfit, baptism outfit & candle, first Sharks game ticket stub, etc) So the hair will have to go in there.
