Snip Snip Snip

Nolan has always had a lot of hair! We cut it for the first time around 9 months I think. Mark has always just used the clippers on him and buzzed it short each time that it has gotten long and shaggy. But as he has gotten older he has gotten more difficult to trim ourselves. He moves every time the clippers get close to his ears, and it's hard to get the nape of his neck. So since we are going to Cancun next week we wanted to keep it long on top so that he doesn't burn his scalp. Not trusting our own abilities to cut his hair with a scissors, I decided to take Nolan to get his 1st official hair cut! 

We went to Cool Cuts for Kids! A great place but expensive for a kids hair cut! Nolan got to pick out a DVD to watch- he chose "Mo Mo"a.k.a. Elmo! He sat in a Fire Engine seat, spun the steering wheel, watched his movie, and didn't say a peep! Much easier than the 3 ring circus we go through to cut his hair at home! And at the end as they trimmed the hair around his ears and neck he got to have his very 1st sucker! He knew just what to do with it as the hair dresser gave him the stick- pop it right in his mouth and suck away! He loved it and was a cute sticky mess in the end! Nolan's new 'do turned out great! He looks like such a big boy now! Check it out!
