Charlie's first haircut

In December, I finally scheduled Charlie's first haircut. His beautiful curls took a long time to come in (he was practically bald until he was 18 months old) but once they did, they were tight ringlets. However, Charlie's lifestyle isn't really conducive to keeping long hair. He's a rough and tumble boy! Right around the time I had George, I kind of fell behind on caring for Charlie's hair and ended up having to cut out a few dreadlocks that had formed. Whoops! After that little trim, I stayed on top of the detangling and conditioning but it was still time for a trim. 

A pretty good before picture- look how long his hair is!

For his first haircut, we took him to Cookie Cutters which was worth every penny. He got to sit in a race car chair and watch a movie during the cut and then afterwards got a balloon, a sucker and to go down the in-lobby slide a few times.

He looks concerned because he's trying to concentrate on the TV, he actually loves having his head touched

Again, a little scowly but not really upset

And here's a good "after" shot of Charlie's haircut (and showing off his beatboxing skills and toolbelt accessories.)

At first, I felt like I was Delilah taking away his Sampson super power by cutting his hair. It was a little shorter than I wanted. But now that's it's grown out a little, the trademark Charlie ringlets are back.
