Jake First Haircut!

Jake had his first haircut today.  I really love his blonde curls, but they had finally gotten too long and we made his first haircut a special family event.  I made an appointment at a special kids salon where they have "cars" to sit in and toys to play with.  Jake even wore his fancy clothes.  I tried to prepare him for the experience by talking to him throughout the day about what would happen.  He was uninterested in what I had so say, simply saying "no" when I asked "won't that be fun?"  We got there a little early and the kids played on the playground outside and then the train table in the salon.  When it was finally Jake's turn he was not happy and could not be bribed with toys or treats.   Daddy forced him into the seat, while Mommy took pictures.  It only took a few minutes for him to realize that it wasn't so bad and he played with the toys and had a snack.  In the end he had a nice haircut, keeping the curls just not so long and he was having so much fun with the toys he didn't want to leave.
