Fail

For those of you who may not have seen Ike in awhile...his hair has gotten a little long.

Some of you may have even commented on how badly he needs a haircut (Uncle TyTy)...but I have been a little reluctant to do so. Mostly because it is a tortuous process, and partly because I just think its cute a little longer.

The last time he got a haircut (late spring, early summer...I've tried to block it out) GiGi ended up chasing a semi-naked Ike around the backyard with scissors. Let me clarify...he was running, not GiGi, we all know you shouldn't run with scissors! It was not fun. He screamed, squirmed and was all around uncooperative. GiGi was a angel and dealt with him and his crazy.

This time Mimi Mary was the brave soul who decided to give it a try. We had it all set-up...cartoons on the TV, ice cream bribe at the ready...but no go! Once again he squirmed, cried and whimpered "all done" whenever she touched a hair, yes a single hair! FAIL.

So if anyone has any great tips for cutting an almost-two-year-old's hair...I'm all ears! Oh, and by the way school pictures are on Nov. 3...so fast action maybe required, or maybe some barrettes!
