A new do

We finally did it. We finally took Holton to an official salon to get his haircut by a professional. Adam usually handles this job but has been out of commission due to an rib injury. That's a whole other story.....poor guy.

So, we thought we'd give Adam some peace and quiet yesterday by going to get a fancy hair cut.

Here is Holton before the cut, playing with the salon's train set.

Then it was time for the haircut. Holton didn't mind at first because he could sit in a cool car, watch his favorite DVD, but he hated the blue cape. He really cried when they put that on him. Nothing a good pacifier couldn't fix.

And here he is after the cut. See, he went short for the summer. You have to do this when we constantly hover at 100 degrees! Notice the train in his hand.
So, our first trip to the salon was a piece of cake. Except when we left the train set. He was extremely unhappy about leaving this new find! He did the whole kicking and screaming thing. He even tried to run back in the salon to get to the train set. I felt bad for the little guy, so we went to the toy store and got him his very own junior train set. Hey - you do what you have to do ;)
