This afternoon Graycen got his first haircut!! We opted going somewhere to get it done because I was not comfortable going near a wiggly 1 year old with a pair of scissors. So, here are the pics...

After


To us he looks like a totally different kid! You can see his eyes now and his cute little neck!

A couple funny things about the experience... The girl who cut his hair was so sweet with him. At first she was asking him questions and he just stared at her with a frozen "huh?" look, until I explained to her that he doesn't know how to talk yet. She was Asian and a little rusty on some of her English words. When I told her I would like to save some of his hair she said, "Oh, sure, for your scratchbook?"

Graycen did very well until the very end when she was doing a little trimming and he got nervous. One of the other girls brought me a bubble blower thing to distract him. He was trying to bend over and catch the ones falling to the floor...she sweetly said to him, "Graycen, you can't get those, you have your sit-belt on!"


She was so good with him, moving around with his head cutting away... and no mistakes!


PS. I also got my hair cut...I mean chopped. A good 6-8 inches off. And guess what?...I don't regret it yet! For those of you that no me...that's a pretty big deal! I'll put up some pics for the next post.

How adorable!! He looks soooo big now. Where did my little grandbaby go? Too bad you don't have a sit-belt at home to put him in. That way you could do it yourself!! hehe. Can't wait to see him in person.
Love you G!! Grandma:)
