1st official haircut

Aiden has had a few little trims from his Mimi, but a few weeks ago I (Jen) decided that he needed to get an actual haircut. I thought about taking him to one of those children's haircut places just for the experience, but I knew that even sitting in an airplane would not make Aiden forget the fact that someone he doesn't know is touching his head. It's funny because Aiden is not a shy kid anymore (much to our surprise) but when it comes to the doctor, or in this case a hairdresser, he knows something is up, and he doesn't like it. I had a hair appointment scheduled for myself and I asked Julia, who has been doing my hair since college, if she would trim up Aiden's hair. I warned her that it may not be an easy task. My mom met us at the hair place so that she could take Aiden after he was done and I could finish my appointment. Luckily she had her camera (I know, I'm a bad mom forgetting mine) so she snapped a few pictures documenting the occasion.

Aiden refused to sit in the chair alone and wear the cape even though we tried to convince him it was like superman.

He agreed to sit in my lap, and a small bag of chips helped sweeten the deal of trying to sit still and not pull away.

LOVE the look he is giving me in this next one...

Lookin' good!!

Thanks mom/Mimi for getting these pictures and to Julia who was such a trooper with my difficult little boy!
