Tanner's 1st official haircut

So yes, I realize that he is 2 years old and this was the first true experience of a professional cutting his hair. But I was very nervous that this little monkey would go crazy, and it was easier to just cut his bangs as needed. ohh and he looks adorable with long hair. So I looked for salons that were just for kids- I remembered someone telling me before that there was such a place but I couldnt remember. I googled it- It's call Carnival Cuts and there are a couple of them around here. So I got an itch one day and felt bad that the poor child was gonna start to be called shaggy that I decided- this is the day that Tanner will get his first haircut that isnt by me. As I looked into Carnival cuts I realized we would have to go to Great Lake crossing, at 4:30 in the afternoon. Damn, no way am I going on 75 around rush hour.
I still HAD to get his hair cut though. Thomas said he goes to The Berkley Chop Shop and he had seen a guy take his 2 year old son in and he held him on his lap and the little boy did great. So I got all my courage up and took Tanner up there.
We walked in- had to wait for 15-20 minutes as I wondered the whole time if they would even get the cape on him before he head butted someone.
They call us up, put him on a little booster chair, gave him a sucker and cut his hair.
What a big jerk I am.
I could not believe my eyes. Who was this kid? It was so awesome. I love when I'm proved wrong and I didnt expect it!!
He sat up there like a big boy and was sprayed by the water bottle, he has the biggest bib on that he has ever seen and I think hair was gettin on his sucker. He didnt care! He just chilled out as a professional stylist was cutting his hair. NOT MOM. The stylist name is Gary and he was trying to put layers in Tanners hair. I almost pee'd my pants laughing so hard. Tanner with layers. I cant believe I waited this long.




When Tristen got his first haircut I think I cried! He turned into a little boy instantly. His little baby locks were gone and it freaked me out. Maybe thats why I waited so long with Tanner. or he really does look cute with his hippie hair! But it's not too short and he is still my baby!

Here are some bonus pictures that I LOVE.
If Tanner likes you, learn to cuddle because this munchkin is such a lover and he is always crawlin up on our laps grabbin a blanket and curl up with you. OMG do I love it. one of my favorite parts of the day.
and LOOK at my two cheese balls. Lets just say that there is no way this child is from the milkman. My 2 boys and there daddy are more alike everyday.
Ohh they crack me up. They always seem to make me smile. I'm so thankful for that.
