First (real) haircut!

Right around when Gabriel was two years old, we decided that he needed a haircut done by a professional.  We had been trimming his hair every now and then.  And despite our best efforts to the contrary, he ended up with a cross between a bowl haircut and a bob.

So this is his "before" picture...

We took him to a local haircut place that caters to little kids.  They had a little toy house with a toy kitchen, so he was in heaven.

That is, until they started working on him.  He did not want to sit in the chair by himself, but only on Daddy's lap.

And he was glued onto Daddy the entire time like a baby koala.

He went into his "shut-down" mode.

But in the end, he survived.  And came out with a "normal" boy haircut.  (And a lollipop.)

Here he is holding his "My 1st Haircut" certificate.
