Haircutting Horror

We've talked about my poor little boys' sensory issues before, and my heart goes out to them. I can imagine how they must perceive the snipping, combing, and gently tugging. Then there's the clippers! But what can I say; they've got to have their hair cut! So here you are...

Before:


After:


Need I say more?

But here's something fun:



Now you've all witnessed the first time Smarty has managed to put a shirt on right side up, right side out, and front facing front; and all by himself. Yes he is a snappy dresser. Don't you love the collar shirt underneath?

I will be the first to comment one this. It is funny how the attitudes of our children change. As for smarty dressing himself correctly, I bet it was sad, because he is growing up & funny, because of the layering of clothes. It pulls a little at the heart strings. It just shows that he is your big boy now and not the little boy you want him to stay.

P.S. Smarty is looking more like his dad. He is a lucky boy to have good looks. I look at the picture & try to see the Reeder in him. Nope no Reeder (lucky kid, hahaha) Just kidding. I do see some of your Bro. Joe in him, so there is some Reeder in him.

nice cuts! Do you do them yourself?

you do need to bug him more, but I am not sure he wants to email...so if not, that is cool.

I am so sorry you went through that today. You should have not taken my kids to mickydees yesterday and then you could have paid that lady.
Tell Smarty I am proud of him. Good job on the shirt.

Those photos are precious. They are so cute!
We had a similar experience with our youngest for his first several haircuts. We would go to the hair salon with a happy kid with bad hair, and leave with a screaming kid with a great looking haircut.

Oh i love the before and after pics! You need to frame them side by side. And wow, he is growing up! He looks like a little supermodel in his shirt. And I can't say anything about the collared shirt underneath, if you could see some of the outfits(and i use that term loosely) that Piper goes out of the house in, you would die.
They are both so cute!

Such cute boys!!

I'm glad I escaped before the haircut horror began :)

The haircuts look great even though they are so terrible!
