Michael's First Haircut

We took Michael to get his first haircut yesterday. We went to a cute little shop in Greenville called Jelly Beans. It is only 1 cent for a Baby's First Haircut! They also give you a certificate with a lock of their hair on it.

Anyway, Michael did great during the whole thing. They put him in a little car to sit in, and put the cape around him, and he really didn't care. He was happy to just be sitting in a car.

First she brushed out his hair, so it made a little baby afro.

Then she got the trimmers, and started. Every once in a while, Michael would move his head or put his hand up, but never once did he get mad, or cry. He was such a big boy!

 She was even able to shape around his ears, and along his neck line.

After it was all done, he got to pick a prize from the treasure box (he picked a sticker), then he got to pay for his hair cut by feeding the pig his penny. He also got a balloon with a bag of jelly beans attached.  I think the balloon was his favorite thing from the whole experience.

This hair cut makes him look so much older now.

It was a fun little experience, and I'm so glad that Michael did so well. While we were there, 2 other children, about Michael's age, were also there, and they screamed the whole time. I'm so glad that Michael wasn't one of those children.
