First REAL Hair Cut

Preston & Parker before their hair cuts...
Preston cooperating pretty well!

Yea!! We're finished!

Parker started off pretty well...

...but he ended up on Daddy's lap!

Last Thursday, on the boys' 1st birthday, we took them to a local children's salon to get their first "official" haircuts. Boy, was that an experience! Overall, it didn't go too badly, considering they were only a year old, but I was exhausted when we left. Preston went first, and he just looked so cute sitting in the red car, wearing a tiny little cape. He actually sat pretty still for awhile, but his patience did wear out before the stylist was finished. She was a good sport; she had to assume many different positions to get that hair cut! Parker went next, and his good behavior didn't last quite as long as Preston's (maybe because he had to wait for Preston to get done...who knows?). Parker ended up sitting on the floor board of the car (instead of a regular beauty shop chair, they have a couple of cute little cars for the kids to sit in), and then he decided to start jumping up and down. I tried to hold him still, but that was a challenge, too. Finally we put him on David's lap (crying) and after a few minutes, we said it was "good enough." Poor lady, she deserved a bigger tip! :) The boys did look really cute when they were finished, and much more like "big boys!"
