just a little trim

About a month ago Will's hair started to get out of hand. I typically cut his hair, and feel like I do an adequate job for the most part, but my skills and experience are fairly limited. As his hair grew out  my mistakes became harder to hide. Just as I was about to reach my breaking point with Will's mop, we fortuitously received a coupon to Great Clips in the mail. A haircut including tax and tip for under $10? Yes, please.

We talked with Will quite a bit over the course of a few days about how he was going to get a "big kid" haircut and how very brave he was to get one. He seemed pleased about the idea until we got him in the chair. His bravado vanished and I held his hands while the stylist went to work.

 I asked him to smile for the camera, and this is the best I got.

 Excited about the dum-dum, or just glad it's over?

Fresh trim the next day. I feel like he looks a lot like his dad in this picture.

Will has never enjoyed getting his hair cut, but I was proud of him for enduring the torture.
