The George Gets Shorn Edition (Part II)
See Part I here.
In the end Mom’s lap did the trick.
That and another whole pack of candy.
Here’s a little aside for the annals of history: After Jerry the Barber set George in my lap, he said, “This little guy needs something to hold and open.” He said this while pulling a small jackknife out of his pocket.
And I’m like, “Ummm…”
He snapped out the blade and I’m like, “Ummm…”
And then he opened a cupboard beside the sink, revealing his secret stash of “bribery” candy, and pierced the plastic on a brand new box.
Phew!
I didn’t even make George share.
It’s not like Jerry gave him coffee.
(Cutting their bangs always reminds me of Uncle Charlie.)
(Do you remember Uncle Charlie?)
(Or am I showing my age here?)
I know, I know. It’s hard when they go from baby boys to little men.
But that’s all part of the process, isn’t it?
At least, my husband says so.
He's just so cute!!!!
he is so cute, both before and after the haircut!
I just gave Therese her first cut at only 8 months old. She was sporting a good 3 inch mullet in the back!
I totally get the baby to BIG boy thing. It took me awhile to get my
youngest a hair cut. The boys in the family think a little too long. Hope to see you at the conference. Always enjoy your blog.

I don't know. People are always asking me, about Tommy, "He is a boy, isn't he?" But I can't cut off his pretty, pretty curls.
George, you are one handsome little man. Too cute.
Uncle Charlie, as in My Three Sons?? I remember watching that show and loved it. Of course, when I watched it was already reruns they were showing 🙂
You guessed it, Sarah!
(I never watched My Three Sons that much but I do remember Uncle Charlie.)
(He was too much of a character NOT to.)
He is absolutely adorable — with his "baby" shag and his boy hair cut.
Isn't it amazing what a difference it makes in a boy?
Mama's lap will always make a difference (and not just with haircuts).
Brought back memories of my son's first haircut. It took three people – he sat on my lap and I wrapped my arms around his arms and my legs around his legs. My husband held his head and our friend, a barber, cut. This lasted for about 4 years. Your son fared much better – candy score!
George is such a handsome little man!!
And yes, I do remember Uncle Charlie. Who could watch My Three Sons and not remember Uncle Charlie?!
He's still super cute 🙂
And who could forget Uncle Charlie?
Ahhhh, look how blonde he looks after his haircut!!
Very cute, great post!!
(I can leave comments here, just not anywhere else….hmmmmmm)
what a little cutie pie!!!
Uncle Charlie, my goodness I have not thought of him in yearssss,,,,,excuse me while I go and COLOR my gray hair 😉
that first big boy haircut is THE hardest…and then you grow to love the "little man" look…your heartstrings are probably so used to being pulled by now..as are mine but it really doesn't get any easier, does it?
Awww, so cute… now he will be nice and cool for summer, too 🙂
