The Haircut

Today, Colin was *lucky* enough to be able to visit Mr. Terry for his first haircut. Mr. Terry gave Daddy and Uncle Jon their first (and subsequent) haircuts and still cuts Papa's hair, so this was a real treat. I was pretty excited and more than a little hesitant. He said Colin behaved exactly like Daddy did nearly 30 years ago! Mr. Terry was giving me a hard time about Colin's curls last time he was up, but today said, "you're not ready to cut that boy's hair yet, are you?" C'mon man, don't make me have second (third, fourth...fortieth) thoughts. Here Colin is sitting on the big chair. I like how he seems to have his fingers crossed in this first picture, something he's been doing a lot of lately.
Here are the not-so-curly-today-curls that we are *trimming*. We didn't even touch the front of his hair because it still somehow looks like has been freshly trimmed every morning when he wakes up; go figure. He'll probably end up bald early with this good of luck as a baby.Colin did not consider himself as lucky as I thought he should. :)
But Mr. Terry is a professional and has cut many wiggly boys. I could not believe how good of a job he was able to do while Colin fussed and squirmed.
Mr. Terry even had a sucker for Colin at the end (which he was completely uninterested in). Colin waved bye to the fish, but not to Mr. Terry. Poor guy. Maybe we can see him again at Christmas and Colin will do better!
Here are the results:
He looks like such a big boy now I'm not sure I can handle it. But I am not going to cry.

Here's a video of part of the process. Enjoy! :)
