E’s First Haircut

The whole family met up at Mr. Will’s to get Ben’s millionth haircut and Elizabeth’s very first trim. Ben went first to show how much “fun” it was. The whole time we waited Elizabeth played, sat with Dad, watched Ben and generally had a great time. As soon as Ben got done and we said, “do you want to sit in the chair?” to Elizabeth, screaming commenced. We got her in the chair and Dad held her hands and talked to her the whole time while Mom tried to get a few pictures. Poor E was so mad that we were going through with the haircut, but Mr. Will persevered and did a great job. He is very quick and kind with the kiddos and going to Mr. Will is totally worth it to us to make haircuts a pleasant experience. Once Elizabeth was done, which was less than five minutes later, she seemed to think the whole ordeal was a lot better once she realized she got a sucker. Apparently that is her new thing since the flu shot and she immediately knew what it was and had it devoured pretty quickly. Maybe the promise of a sucker will help her second cut go better.
