A long awaited haircut

Joseph loves to have long hair. He is not at all a fan of short hair and as a mum, I get that, I understand and I am fine with that, as long as he looks after it.

He was not. His hair was not being washed nearly often enough. He was twirling pieces around his fingers (you can see in the pic the piece he was twirling haha) and he was certainly not brushing it! So today was haircut time.

As you can see, this is going to be much cooler (which was actually his first comment, oh my goodness mum! I didn't realise how hot it was having all that hair haha) easier to look after, and not in his eyes.

He certainly looks handsome with a nice fresh cut. Maybe we can try again with the long hair once he's ready to look after it. 

quarantine cuts

well, we are still at home, only leaving when we have to... and my hair was ratty, looked absolutely disgusting and kept knotting up

and looked a little like this... so i handed my husband a pair of scissors, gave him a rough idea of how long i wanted it...

and now it looks a little like this!

it was a lotttt of hair off, about 6 inches in fact - but he did a pretty good job and i am so happy because it's now smooth as anything and still long enough to tie up! hooray for quarantine cuts by husband hairdressers haha.

fresh hair

can i just take a moment here to show off this delicious child that i made? we've just been for a haircut, through which he sat as still as anything, didn't complain once and was as good as gold. he looks so cute and so grownup and i could just eat him up. i know being a mum, i'm biased, but i can never get over just how perfect his skin is and how blue his eyes are... i'm a little obsessed. let's hope the next one is just as cute!! ♥

a big boy haircut

we finally managed to get this little man in the chair at the barbers today and i cannot believe the difference a cut made. i think it aged him about 12 years and i can't even deal with it. i mean seriously, he's gone from being a baby to a little boy!

all his hair, gone! it's been so long since he let anyone touch his hair that we had started to call him samson... whenever you would ask him if he was going to have a haircut, he would cry no no! and then run away. even at the barber he sobbed and sobbed when we put him in the chair and eventually we had to let him watch a little video with the disney cars in it, whilst sitting on dougs lap in the chair. but we got it done! big big thanks to the awesome barber eli at babaz in ellenbrook... we are thrilled with little j's new cut. ♥

and last of all, here's a before shot of our little man before we got him in the chair... i still can't get over the difference!

joseph has a haircut

this insanely cute boy just had his luscious locks cut back... and suddenly doesn't look like a baby anymore. he loved looking at himself in the mirror and wearing the cape for starters. but that didn't last for long... 

and one thing is for sure though, he still does not like to have his hair cut! it was only a minute or two before he started to wiggle, try and take the cape off and climb down onto the floor. :(

but eventually jess managed to work her magic and get it done... look at all that hair!

and here he is! neatly done and happy again
