On the Haircut Warpath

Ok ok...to all of you out there (you know who you are) that kept telling us that Tyler had hockey hair...you know..a mullet of sorts....business in front, party in back.....we officially took him for his first haircut today. Now before you all start jumping up & down with joy...we only trimmed the back....so he still does have some long curls back there. However, it looks much cleaner now....and she layered it a bit so his curls may hold a bit longer!!! I kicked myself when I realized we forgot the camera to capture this wonderful moment....but about 2 seconds into the event it was clear that ALL pictures would have been of Tyler screaming bloody murder. Yep....he HATED the whole experience. They even had Dora on the TV and another woman was blowing bubbles for him to look at but nothing worked. So, he sat on my lap while she did her best to leave his ears intact and trim his hair semi-straight. Meanwhile, the little girl in the chair next to us (who looked MUCH younger than Ty) sat by herself, didn't move much, and smiled through the whole thing. I wonder if girls are born with desire to be pampered by hairdressers. Even if they are blowing buddles in your face. (And yes it was her first haircut too.) Poor Ty managed to moan and groan the whole way home. Can't believe he got so worked up over a hair cut.

So since we were on the haircut warpath, once Tyler when down for his nap, I pulled out the clippers and grabbed Codi. Now some of you know this usually happens after I've had a few glasses of wine. But today I had had enough of the 'fro on top of his head. Mind you it's still the middle of winter and he needs his "winter coat" soooooo I just shaved his head, neck & paws. I will say he looks rather ridiculous but at least his head is smooth!!!!! (and at least he doesn't look as dumb as those poodle haircuts....aaarrrggghhhh)
