Entry FeedWe are having hair issues in our house.
Son One hasn't cut his hair since March. It is so long! And messy. I keep threatening with haircuts. I've even invented a "barber fairy" who will come in the middle of the night to cut his hair if he misbehaves. The latest negotiation tactic (also known as "threat) is that the next hockey game he loses, he gets a haircut. To be fair, I don't really care if he wins or loses, I am just looking for some reason to cut his hair.
Husband and I can't figure out why he won't cut it. Someone once mentioned that he looked a little like Zack and Cody from The Suite Life, so we thought that was why he was growing it. For the longest time I would tell people to just leave him alone, "it's just hair!" I would explain. However, now that I can no longer see his eyes, it is starting to bug me.
Daughter hasn't had a haircut since playing barber in September. Today, I got some insight into why.
I had a visit to the hairdresser's last week. Obviously, my hairstyle when I returned home made an impression.
Daughter: I don't want to go to the hairdresser!
Me: Why not? You need to get your hair trimmed.
Daughter: Because I don't want to have my hair messed up!
Hmmm... She thinks that they messed my hair up?
Me: Don't worry. They won't mess up your hair.
Daughter: But they will change the colour! I don't want to get my colour changed.
Yes, I coloured my hair. Obviously, she wasn't a fan of the subtle highlights.
Perhaps I am to blame for my kids fear of hairdressers. I love going to get my hair done, and often place premature trust, letting them cut or colour, "as they want."
What bugs me about the kids growing out their hair is that I can't see their beautiful little faces. Husband is getting a new camera for Christmas, so soon I will be able to share with you pictures of my children, with extra hair.
I am PRO long hair on little boys. Hope he doesn't lose hockey.
