4/8/11 Charlie's hair is great. In fact, I love (let me rephrase), loved his golden curls that he had around christmas time but at some point I realized I would have to cut it. Ben was always getting his hair cut because he was born with such a manly head of hair, but Char's took awhile to grow it, and by then I loved it long and put off cutting it. His hair was down below his shoulders when I thought he was starting to look like a girl, so I tried to trim it up. Well, by the age of two kids get really opinionated! I tell you, if you haven't already cut their hair by then they will let you know if they are "ok" with it or not. Chars literally FREAKED OUT when I tried to cut his hair after christmas. We tried candy, games, toys, any form of bribery to get the job done and we ended up with a mess but it was at least "cut". He acted as if he had nerve endings in his hair, REALLY. That hair cut at least bought us some time and I have tried to desensitize him with frequent but brief exposures to scissors! I thought we were ready, so the other day we all went to get Charlie's big hair cut at the salon! We made a huge deal about how he was a big boy now and how Ben loved to get his hair cut and how it did not hurt, etc. When we got there he, again, was not havin it! Kari ( my sweet hair dresser and nearest and dearest friend) was soooo patient and did her best 
on the hair but the results were not good, AT ALL. What could I expect when she was working on a moving target. He threw his head all over and she just tried to snip at the hair as it went by! Kari is wonderful at her job and has standards for what she will let walk out of her salon with her name attached. She suggested we just shave it clean and move on! So, that's what we did. Chars would only let me do it, so Kari stood over my shoulder and tried to tell me how to do it. The problem was that she and I were both laughing so hard that we were trying not to pee our pants while we did it, so there are some imperfections in the final product. He loves it, of course!
