Just two days after Ezra’s shearing, Finn decided he also was ready for a new ‘do. He’d talked about it a bit in the last month but wasn’t ready to take the plunge. Someone at school had apparently told him he needed a haircut, so we had the obligatory discussion about how it’s his hair and he can wear it however he wants. He confirmed that he wanted to cut it. I think the few really warm days we had played a part in his decision. All that hair was hot!
He was looking a bit shaggy.
Having no idea where to take him for the cut, I decided to make an appointment at a local place right next to the ice cream store he likes. That way at least I knew he’d have some solace if he hated the haircut.
The old guy at the shop started right in with the clippers after briefly discussing how short Finn wanted to go.
Eek!
Once he got rid of the bulk, things started looking up.
There was so much hair on the floor. This is only one of the piles.
It took quite a while for the shaping and finishing. Finn was pretty patient. And so was Ezra, who made himself at home.
Finally it was all done, Finn was all smiles and we headed to the ice cream store!
After ice cream we rode directly home to get itchy Finn in the shower.
No tears that day and seemingly no regrets, though he says he’s growing it out again. Starting now.
