For one hair-obsessed four-year-old, it was. Finn has been begging for haircutting toys ever since he saw Chaz Dean’s infomerical a few months ago. Last week I finally found a Melissa & Doug hair stylist costume, complete with hair dryer, comb, scissors and a mirror. It was delivered today and he’s in heaven.
The outfit comes with a name tag. He chose his stylist name: Finland. Let me explain. The other day in the car, the boys and I were listening to music on the iPod and a Better Than Ezra song came on. I asked Ezra if he knew who it was, and he said, “Better Than Ezra?” He was very excited, but Finn (nap-free again) was devastated that there isn’t a band named Better Than Finn. So I said, “Finn, you are named after a whole country!” Ezra said, “Yeah, Finn. It’s Finland!” Finn wasn’t having it at the time but apparently he’s happy about it now.
Anyway, I got to be his first customer. Ezra was next up.
And I better make sure to schedule the first available play date with Ruby because Finn is dying to cut her hair.
