Successful Haircut!

Monday morning Nonna and I took Isaiah to Whipper Snippers in Wilsonville, OR. This is a kid friendly haircut store. At the front of the store there is a play structure for the kids to play on while they wait for their turn. They have special chairs... I think Isaiah got to sit in a rocket. He also got to watch Elmo (although I don't think he even watching any of it). All in all, we were successful this time... Isaiah got a haircut!
I am trying to help Isaiah think the chair is cool. I am showing him all the buttons.
The distractions are working...the stylist is getting some of the hair cut. Oh yeah, the stylist also didn't make him wear a cape...which he was grateful about!
We had to take lots of breaks during the haircut... I had to give him several Mommy snuggles when he was getting a little fussy and not wanting to be in the chair, but he wasn't really upset and crying so that was an improvement from our last attempt.
Making some more progress! The final part of the haircut was his cutting his bangs. I had to hold him and Nonna had to hold his chin... which brought about tears, but he looks so much better now.
Finished hair cut... but not so sure he is happy about it! Don't worry he was all smiles again once we went to Target and Subway for lunch.
