Isaac's First Haircut

Isaac's hair was getting quite shaggy so we decided that he should get a haircut before Christmas arrived. We took him to the place where I get my hair cut. We brought Nonnie and Grandpa along with a boat load of toys to help distract him so Angela could cut his hair without Isaac "helping."

The colorful smock entertained him for about as long as it took to put it on him. No good.

Extra combs worked for a while. He had to have a comb for each hand and he would still drop one to grab the one in Angela's hand. No good.

Here is a joke for you. "How many combs does it take to cut Isaac's hair?" There are five in the picture, but the answer is zero. They don't distract him long enough to get much accomplished. No good.

Here is what Isaac thinks of haircuts! This picture still makes me laugh. We call it "one of Isaac's special pictures." He kinda looks like he is doing the Sylvestor Stallone sneer.

What did we finally get to work? A squirt bottle filled with water. If I lightly squirted his face or allowed him to suck on the bottle he remained relatively motionless. Ok, that is a exaggeration. Let's just says Angela was able to remove some hair but it wasn't really a "good" haircut.

Here he is getting his drink of water.

Here are the after effects of the squirt bottle.

Isaac "helping" decorate the tree. This means he dug through the boxes, pulled out what he liked and threw the rest on the floor.

Isaac helping Grandpa put the Christmas train together.

Isaac loved the train. He played with it every morning and night. The train played music. Isaac loved to derail the train Godzilla style and then point/grunt until we righted the train. Lets just say we were glad to put the Christmas train away after the holidays.
