Izee's First Haircut

Izee started out happy and curious. He toddled around the salon looking at everything. He really liked the car-shaped chair. When it was time for his haircut he picked out the elephant to sit on. (Someone was already sitting in the car.) We put him on the chair and then the hair dresser brought out the apron. Izee SCREAMED! He tried to get off the elephant as quick as possible. When I picked him up, he held on for dear life. Andrew tried putting on an apron and having Izee sit on his lap in one of the salon chairs but Izee was not having any of it. We tried bubbles and a lollipop but the kids was way too mad. Finally I sat down without an apron and with him still clinging to me. The hairdresser started trimming the back of his hair while he screamed into my shoulder. The whole time he was crying Kae was trying to tell him it was okay. "Haircuts don't hurt, Izee. It's okay." Izee finally calmed down and decided to put up with the cutting. He still clung tightly to me but he wasn't crying anymore. After the hairdresser finished the back and the side she could reach with him clinging to me, I turned him around to face out. He started crying again at first but pretty soon he calmed down and started tolerating the hair cutting again. He watched everything the hairdresser did in the mirror. It was quite an ordeal but Izee made it through his first haircut. He looks so handsome!
