Connor’s new haircut

We took Connor to Sport Clips in Newport News (where I get my haircut) for his 1st official haircut by a professional. Mommy and Daddy have cut his hair a few times over the past 12 months, so we were looking forward to see what a professional could do.

Unfortunately they were real busy and we had to wait nearly 30 minutes to be seen. Connor was being good but I could see he was getting a little anxious. It was finally his turn, I scooped him up and carried him to the back. On the way back, I grab a lollipop that they have in the basket at the cash register (the key to it all — at least I hoped so). I told the woman that this was the first time someone other than Mommy and Daddy was going to cut his hair. I think she was a little nervous…I am not sure why — he is “perfect”, remember. Maybe she had heard the horror stories on “Hurricane Connor” rumbling through the grandparents’ houses when he was 6-9 months old and didn’t want to be out of eye sight of his parents. Or maybe she just knows how it usually goes for kids…

Anyways…she put a cape on me then Connor sat on my lap and she put a cape on him. Daddy and his boy were going to get a haircut (I actually had mine yesterday). Mommy sat in the chair beside us and watched. The lady asked how we wanted it cut and said, “We want a little boy cut. Just don’t take off too much.”

Connor was now holding his lollipop and try to unwrap it. She began cutting and Connor paid in no mind. She continued to cut and Connor was sucking on his lollipop. She was nearly done and decided to take out the electric clippers…I was a little hesitant about this but didn’t say or show it. She told Connor, “It is going to tickle.” He watched her closely as she moved the weird, mechanical noise closer to his ear. He didn’t move a bit and then started to smile as electric clippers “tickled” him behind his ear. She finished things up and he got down. He gave Daddy a high five and wanted another lollipop (as Daddy had promised).

What a big boy! He was SO GOOD! So, “PERFECT” (just like his Daddy). 😉
