Mullet-Be-Gone

In no way was I intending for Sawyer's mullet to be a permanent style - between the move and new jobs and busy weekends we just never made time to get it trimmed.  But this Sunday we finally broke down and took him to SnipIts in Rice Village (for his 18-month birthday...post coming soon!).

Jeremy snapped a before picture:

I thought Sawyer might not fuss - especially once I saw the TV and sucker - but of course, I was wrong.  He hates to be sitting anywhere not in my lap or attached to me and be messed with, for example, you should hear how he screams at the pediatrician just when they're weighing him!  Worse even than when he gets shots!  Once we strapped him in the chair, he lost it.

He settled down enough once another stylist started blowing bubbles at him, and then we got into a sweet spot with the bubbles, a banana sucker and watching a video on the TV in front of him!

Once the stylist started in on the detailed cutting, like around his ears, Sawyer got uneasy again.  Luckily it was all over very quickly!  She saved his hair for us, and Sawyer got to pick out a new car (which they had conveniently displayed right by his chair) - a yella bus (two of his favorite words right now).  We had to stop by Lolly and Pops' house to show off how handsome our boy looked!

I love the results!  He looks so handsome!  His hair really looks the same, just without the "party in the back" and really long wispies on top.  I love my blonde guys! {I'm counting Jeremy in there, too!}
