The Bald Brothers and a Little Sophie

Haircut time, again. The boys were a little shaggy after the trip, so I took them both to the salon. Okay, it was Great Clips. Still, it cost money. Jack sat down first, satisfied to have a normal haircut. Collin, however, wanted to be bald. I agreed - it is summer, right?

Collin spent his time waiting by playing with the cords for the window shades. Sophia, entranced, decided to try it, too. The hairdresser was not amused. Finally, Collin went in the chair and the first crisis was over.


And he got a very short buzz. Finished, Jack realized that Collin had the cooler haircut. And started whining. And crying. I got him out of there, but just barely, before the hairdresser also had a meltdown. Poor girl didn't look like she was ready for the Collin-Jack combo.

Jack and I had words on the way home...and after we got home...and most of the morning. He finally got his act together. Later that night, he asked me very nicely for a cut "like Collin's". So now he's bald, too.


Let me tell you, though, that I am still annoyed at paying for a haircut that I could have done at home. And that goes for both boys.

And that leads us to Sophia, another sore spot in my week of haircuts. Last week, Collin cut off an inch along the right side of Sophie's hair. So I trimmed it. No big deal, small annoyance and a long talk about scissors and hair and how they don't go together unless mom is holding the scissors.

This week, Jack got the scissors. And went for Sophie's bangs. Oh, yes. Not so easily fixable.


Good thing she still has those big blue eyes. Good thing for the boys they are cute too, or they'd be missing a few fingers. Cut hair, lose a finger...doesn't that sound like an appropriate punishment? Ah well, a mother can dream...
