This weekend was pretty uneventful. Other than taking down the Christmas lights and lounging around the house we didn’t get much accomplished. But we did have one very big milestone: Doodle’s first haircut!
We’ve been talking for months about just giving him a little trim up as his hair had gotten very long and wispy in the back and while I love a cute little long-haired boy as much as the next mommy, our guy just doesn’t have enough fullness to pull it off so we trimmed up the back a little and evened up the top, going back to his original mohawk that had gotten too long and unwieldy to put up.
Haircuts are a big milestone for us. Both of the girls were three when they got their first haircuts so cutting little Doodle’s hair was a big deal to me!
I decided to do it at home since it was such a small trim and he is terrified of strangers so I didn’t expect him to sit well for a barber (though hubby’s dream is to one day take him to the barber shop for a trim, which he will someday!) We cut it after he had been swimming so his hair was wet and it ended up shorter than I had intended but it’s still cute. I used mousse to help it stand up so I could cut the top which helped a lot.
We definitely won’t be professional barbers and if I had paid someone to do it, I’d be pretty upset. But it got the job done and he’s as cute as always, just a little shorter (and uneven) in the back!
