First haircut

We knew Aaron would need a haircut soon, but didn't realize how bad it was until it was too late to get him in to see Auntie Lia (the hairdresser) in time. We always brushed it over to the side, but more and more often it wouldn't stay to the side and it was getting in his eyes. He'd be playing and he'd stop and rub his eyes like he was tired, but he was really just trying to get his hair out of his eyes. Since we couldn't get him to see Auntie Lia until a family gathering in a few weeks, I decided to trim his bangs myself. Lia gave me some tips and we tried it out yesterday.

Here are some before pictures, taken out on the swing. He looks like a sheepdog.

Having a towl draped around you is a lot of fun.

Here are some after shots. Not too bad for my first attempt.

We'll see how it looks after we wash it tonight.

We'll have Auntie Lia give him a trim in a couple of weeks when we see her.
