My 1st Haircut

I wanted to get Eli's hair cut before his 1st birthday, but we had so much going on with his party I couldn't get it done until almost a month later.  E's hair was getting Very Unruly so it was finally time!!  It is so thin, and there are even some parts on the side of his head that are still growing in....I love the Fo-hawk look for little boys so that was what i was going for.  Ryan didn't really mind that I wanted to get it cut, it really did need "Cleaning Up".....but daddy didn't want to cut too much off the back even though mommy thought that our sweet baby boy was growing a little mullet!

Although I was very anxious to get this done, I was very nervous, and hoping that I wouldn't take him somewhere and he would freak out and someone would mess up his hair.   I had asked a couple of my friends with kids E's age where they got their child's hair cut and after much thought I decided on "The Kid Salon", in Allen.  I made an apt, and took my mom for support and someone to help me take pictures.  I made sure the apt. was after E's nap so that he would at least be in a good mood.... 

Sooo..We ended up walking into this very kid friendly place that had lots of toys in the lobby area and was very bright and colorful!  I got a pic with my little man before we started and then our stylist, Vanessa, called us back....

Vanessa was great with Eli, she was so friendly and took us straight over to E's seat....he got to sit in the little car and she turned on Elmo for him to watch.  He was pretty excited to "drive" the little car and sat very still...

And here is my little man with his new look!  I loved it, and Vanessa is now his new stylist!
