operation haircut 4 alex

this morning i realized alex had officially reached 'furball' status.

he needed a haircut - badly :)

i always wait until the last moment possible because he is not fun to take for haircuts.
he hates the cape.
he hates when they touch him.
and he basically fights the entire time.

so ...
i brought ben as my 'sidekick helper'
we brought mickey and pluto as 'distractions'
and we were off.

he ended up doing really well.
of course we had the help of 3 bubble machines.
alex had one - ben had one - and i had one.
BUT ...
it worked.



the lady that cut his hair today was GREAT!
she had alex convinced that she had a bird in her ear -
and for much of the day today alex was convinced he had one in his as well.

she spent a lot of time with him
and even styled it in a 'fauxhawk' for him.
he thought he was HOT stuff :)

and so did his sidekick ... who got his hair styled and sprayed blue as well!

it wasn't exactly the 'relaxing haircut/spa experience' that i prefer ...
but if an all out bubble war is what makes a 2 yr old's haircut bearable -
it works for me!
