Haircut Firsts

Jack's hair has been growing so fast these days, but he has apparently inherited my fine tresses and has quite the case of wispy flyaways. Ryan's hair was also in need of a trim, so we took the boys to Li'l Cuts. My last two visits with Ryan were pretty disastrous, so I thought having Sam along might ease the dramz. What really helped was having Jack go first (which I planned because I didn't want Ryan's hysterics to freak Jack out).

Jack was pretty chill throughout - it helped that he sat in my lap for the trim.

Ryan was watching the whole process intently

When it was Ryan's turn, he opted to sit on Dad's lap. While he was initially uneasy, he settled in pretty quickly.

He didn't even mind when the stylist brought out the clippers, which he'd never had before since he'd always been so distraught by this point.

Perhaps it was the promise of Yogurtland after, or a newfound confidence after watching his brother endure the process peacefully, or Sam's presence that resulted in Ryan's first calm haircut. Whatever it was, I'll attempt to re-create it at every future salon visit!
