jack's first "successful" haircut

last saturday, after a week of jack brushing his hair out of his eyes, we took the kids to melonheads, in the mall, for jack's first haircut. it's a really cute kids' hair salon, where the kids sit on cars, trucks, ponies, and rocketships for their haircuts instead of chairs, and they get to play with toys, watch tv, get scented water sprayed into their hair and colored hairspray. i think the stylists have more fun than the kids:) we thought this place might be good for jack's first cut since he always liked going in just to look around. we were sooooooooo wrong. he was fine with sitting in the thomas train and was having a blast "driving" it, until the nice girl started spraying his hair with water. he kept pushing her hand away. then she started combing and that wasn't too bad:) then the cutting began and jack was not a happy boy. he was okay with it at first, a bit squirmy, but he didnt' mind the back being cut. when she started on the front, that's when things got really bad. jack tried climbing out of the train. eventually, i had to hold him while the girl cut his hair and jack had to hold rar ( his stuffed lion), the toy school bus, and the new stuffed yoshi daddy bought him all while the poor girl walked around and around trying to give jack a decent haircut. poor kid. at least his hair isn't in his eyes anymore:) he had to walk off the trauma of the whole event around the mall:) the girl did say he wasn't the worst they've ever had:)
