Harry's Hair Cut

Before (He looks thrilled!)

I got kind of tired of paying between $7 and $15 to get my 2 year old's hair cut.  He's two, his hair grows fast, and he's a boy.  It's not like they were doing some complicated fancy hair style on him!  So I worked up my nerve and decided to try and give him a hair cut myself!

Now keep in mind, I've never cut a boys hair before.  Not a real hair cut anyways!  I've shaved Colin's head plenty of times, but it's pretty impossible to mess that up!  When Harry was just a little over 1, I had decided that I would trim his hair (for the first time EVER).  A couple of snip snips later, I was crying my eyes out, babbling on and on about how I ruined my babies hair.  Ask my mom, she was there.  Looking back I feel kind of dumb :)  So actually deciding to give my baby a real live hair cut was kind of a big deal, but I figured I'd seen it done enough times that I could figure it out myself and save us some moolah!

I watched a couple of videos online, just to reassure myself that I could do it! :)  Then I put Harry in a tall chair in front of the TV, turned on one of his favorite shows, said "Be brave Amy!", and started snipping.  I think I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself!  I'm sure I'll get better with time, but for now, it was money well SAVED! :)

After (Isn't he cute!!??)

Love my boy!
