First Haircut

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took Kellan to get his first haircut.  We went to "Li'l Klippers" at Wallingford Center.  They specialize in children's cuts, and afterwards we received a little card memorializing the event with a description of Kellan's reactions and a lock of his hair.  Below is an almost blow-by-blow account of the haircut.

This is the first pre-haircut picture we took.  As you can see, the chairs are pretty cute (Kellan got the airplane chair), and he got to wear a big kid's smock.

One last look at his curls (it was looking rather mullet-esque).

The first cry of "what the heck is going on?"

Susan (the stylist) thought maybe showing Kellan what she was using might ease his fears...

...she was wrong.

 
Eventually we found that the only way to get it done was to distract Kellan with toys (which they had loads of at the salon).

We still had our moments of fussing, however.

This is the first picture taken with Mommy's iPhone, as the batteries ran out on our camera (so, sorry for the bad quality of the remaing pics).

By the end, Kellan seemed to be pretty pleased with his new 'do.

Here's another look at the cut...

...and one more for good measure.  Doesn't he look older?

On a totally random side note, Mommy couldn't help but notice how much the stylist, Susan, looked like Peg Bundy from "Married with Children" (minus the oversized hair).  Judge for yourself:

Susan

Peg Bundy

Eerie, right??
