The First (Documented) Haircut

Ty's hair was getting a bit scraggly, coming down over his ears, and spilling onto his collar.  I talked for a while about taking him in to get his haircut by, ya know, someone who actually knows what they're doing.  Eventually, though, I changed my mind, saved a few bucks, and we had Family Home Evening cutting Ty-Ty's hair in the bathroom.  Russell was needed to distract Ty and tell me that, "It's not that bad..."  As he says, the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is 2 weeks...  Good thing that 2 weeks has just passed!

Some before shots:
 "Cheesh!"
 See all that up by his ears?  It needs to go.
...And the back.  It's really not that awful, just a little fluffier than desired.
After!  He was very ready to be done by the end and I wish it showed up in the picture how hairy his back and tummy got from all of the fallen strands.  He did get a dum-dum, though, which made many things better.
His dum-dum was so good, in fact that there was no way we could get it out of his hand before his bath.  So, he bathed with a lollipop.  :)  There were plenty of times he lost it in the tub and the stick became unwrapped and started falling apart.  In the end, both dum-dums came out of the bathtub clean.  (Okay, that was mean.)  I meant to say that one dum-dum and one cutely-haircutted smart-smart came out clean!  (That's better.)
For his next haircut, perhaps he'll get a mo hawk!
