Doesn't he have such a hard life?

Haircuts
So there are a million things I could blog about, but I will choose to discuss my children. My boys are cutie pies, but it was that time of the month again for them to get hair cuts. Because their hair grows so fast, and because I am so frugal (aka cheap) I opt to cut their hair myself. I dread this task. Tanner does just fine. He has my dad's hair, thin and fine, so it doesn't take much to cut, and he thinks the clippers tickle. Also, as long as a movie is playing for him, he would sit still all night for me. He is a TV addict. Sad, but true. Tyson is a whole different story. I have never been able to cut his hair without him crying through the whole thing. It really is quite frustrating. The more he cries and moves around, the longer it takes. Then he will try to rub the hair off his face with the cape that is also covered in hair, getting it in his mouth, eyes, nose, etc. He has a thick head of white hair just like his daddy, so it gets all over, and he can't stand it on his neck itching him. By the time we are done, I am yelling my head off at him and he is wiping his tears with more hair all over his face and to top it off, a runny, snotty nose ends up all over his face from the crying. Arghhh! What to do with this child? I am tempted to take him to a salon, but know he would cry the whole time anyway, so I save myself the public embarrassment. Then, Anthony is always last because his takes the longest. He has the thickest hair I have ever seen and I refrain from cursing it now because I know later in life when we are old and gray, I will be so happy he still has a full head of hair. However, in my haste, I nicked the one side and then had to shorten both sides. It ended up looking like what he called a marine haircut. It is not horrible, but not how I usually do it. Luckily, his hair grows at a record pace, so it will be fine in a week. I think if this next baby is a girl, I will just let her hair grow down to her bum so I don't have to deal with more haircuts!

I feel your pain! we go from really short to really shaggy because I can't make myself do it often enough to keep it short.
By the way - if you took Tyson to a salon be probably wouldn't cry at least that was the case with my boys. I took them once when I was 9 months pregnant with Tyler and to big to do it myself. Not a single tear or complaint from either one which just made me mad because they did it the same way I do at home plus, it cost $15 each wich I thought was way too expensive.
