How To Get A 3 Year Old To Get His Hair Cut?...

It all starts out on June 2, 2009 at about 9 pm my son was born and he was beautiful but he didn't hardly have any hair (but that is what made him so cute) and it continued like that for almost 2 years.. Don't get me wrong he had a little bit but not enough to get it cut but close to his 2nd birthday it was getting pretty long and down in his face so that was the perfect time to get his 1st hair cut.. It did not go well at all he cried and cried it was awful so he did not get it cut for another 9 months (we tried in between that time but he was not having it) and by that time it was awfully long and in his eyes so my dad told me he would take us to his hair stylist to see if she could do anything with him.. So that time did not go any better than the first in fact my dad held him on his lap and everything it did not help but his hair grows so fast now if he doesn't go every 8 weeks he begins to look like a little girl.. So the third time he got is hair cut which was close to his 3rd birthday my dad's hair stylist (which is amazing) decided to take a different approach.. Since his birthday was going to be a chicka chicka boom boom party she used that to help her and made a coconut tree and some paper letters and we sang the song as she cut his hair and it worked!! The next time we went she did it again but this time he colored the letters and sang the song so this last time which was the other day we went in for the hair cut and she already had his tree ready.. When ever we pull in the parking lot he says "I gonna get my coconut tree" so in order to get his hair cut he has to have a coconut tree and letters to keep his mind off of it.. Just glad his hair stylist has the patients she does or he would never be able to get a hair cut..

Momma forgot the markers/crayons so we had to draw shapes and designs on the letters this time.. Oh and since this is going up on Halloween let me say hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Halloween from my family to yours!!!!!
