The climber's first haircut

On Saturday we took Finn to get his first haircut.  I guess I made a few mistakes going into this.  The first is that we did it on a Saturday afternoon when SuperCuts gets really busy.  The second is that I neglected to tell them that it was his first haircut when I made the appointment.  The third mistake is that when the first person said he was available and could take either Finn or Reid, I had Finn go first so that Reid could take pictures before he was called back.  The person that took Finn was a man who had no patience for kids.  He got mad at him and complained that he was in the last hour of his shift and couldn't do it.  Ugggghhhh!  I will definitely NEVER take my children back there again.  I quit going myself after this same man dropped hot wax on my eyelid.  So, they've now lost all of our business except Reid.  Anyway, Reid took all video and no pictures.  But here's a picture from last night.  Finn thinks his ride-on toy is perfect for climbing.  What are we going to do with this kid??



The guy did a horrible job giving him a haircut.  We've had to trim it up all weekend.  At least now it's above his ears.  The only downside is that it looks like he has a bob.  Oh well, it'll grow out in a few weeks anyway. And I still think he looks sooooo cute.  I love our silly little guy!

There's a secret about going to Super Cuts... same-day appointments. You can make an appointment and request your time if you call ahead (only within that day, though). So no waiting. Also, you MUST ask for Shannon. She's the only one who does a good job there. She's fantastic. I take Ethan there every 6 weeks, and he's never gotten a bad cut from her. And she's great with kids. She chats up Ethan during the whole cut. And there are always suckers at the end... for Ethan and Maddie (the bystander).

I looked for nearly a year to find a good haircut place when we moved to CO. Crossed off the list early through bad trial and error: Cost Cutters, Kool Kuts for Kids (on Academy), and the lady who did my hair. Trust me, Shannon at Super Cuts. Really.

He looks great! Isaac really needs his haircut too. The first one is painful, but looking at cute Finn I think I've got the courage!
