Haircut!

Even though Xiao Yu has been with us for almost two years, we have never taken him to a barber shop for a haircut.  Elvin has been cutting his hair, for better or worse, and we have decided that sometimes it turns out to be closer to worse than better.  For that reason, we decided that a trip to the barber was in order...

First, the spray bottle!

And then the clippers.  Part of why we have not taken him in, in the past, was that he would sometimes start crying uncontrollably with the clippers.  Perhaps he had some negative association with them in the past.  But over the part few months, he has gotten over his fear of them and did fine in the hair salon.  He did ask to hold daddy's hand (under his hair sheet) the whole time.

Once his sides were trimmed, Elvin considered leaving his hair like that, since then he had a resemblance to a famous Brazil soccer player.

Is there a resemblance?

And finally it was time to trim his bangs.

 All in all, we thought he got a good hair cut and he was happy with getting a dum dum.
