I finally decided that it was time that Alexander got a haircut. His hair was so long that it was bothering his eyes. I kept procrastinating because, well, I've never done this before. I was afraid I'd hurt him, or mess up his hair (I saw my baby pictures... I never want to do the same to him! Talking about bad hair days... more like bad hair years. I think I had a bowl-cut until I was 5 or 6...)
Anyway, here is a "before" picture. He looked a bit concerned.
At first, I tried using a pair of thinning scissors, but that didn't work out so well. So Brian took over with his clipper. Alexander was actually pretty good for the most part, despite the funny face he made.
Brian was getting too aggressive with the clipper, so after he finished one side, I took over the other side. This is what I did. Not bad, huh? Though I think it was still too long. There was a bald spot (oops), but it was covered with hair so it's not noticeable
Now Brian's side... I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this. At least my bald spot was concealable! I admit, it was probably my fault that he ended up with this bald "stripe." I was too busy watching Brian, and I forgot that I needed to keep Alexander still. He apparently was turning his head around while Brian tried to cut his hair. Still, that doesn't change the fact that he looked comical. He reminds me of some cartoon character, but I can't recall the name. I don't think Brian appreciated that I was laughing so hard.
These were taken the next day. My side.
Brian's side. It'll grow back... He's still cute~
