Haircut

So, I forgot to mention that Payton recently got his second professional haircut. Just like the first one (which is documented in this blog), it was a disaster! This time was worse, because he is stronger now. For about an hour, I sat in the salon chair, trying to find ways to pin him down so he wouldn't move. We also tried bribing with m & m's and chocolate chip cookies. It didn't work. Finally, after an hour of screaming, I gave up and ended the hair cut session. It looked even worse than before taking him into the salon. I go home with Payton and Mike notices immediately the terrible haircut. So we pin him down again and shave it short. Next time, we know not to shave the front. Thank goodness though, we won't have to cut if for awhile (I hope!)... :)

Here's a video "pre" haircut...Payton and I were having a disagreement. He kept wanting to take his shirt off..and I was insisting he wear it (since it is below freezing here in Illinois!)
