Haircut #2

Yesterday, Lucas turned 17 months old. It was also the day we decided to get him his second haircut. If you recall, when he was born, he had a fair amount of hair, and it's been growing like crazy ever since. His first haircut was quite some time ago, maybe at 9 months, and as you've seen in recent pictures, he's become quite the raggedy-looking child. It's gotten so bad in the past month or so, that I could completely understand it if a stranger wasn't sure which gender he was. So something had to be done.

We brought him to a nearby "salon" named Goobers that was designed expressly for kids. The waiting area has lots of things to keep young kids entertained, such as a DVD playing G-rated movies, a table with activity books on it, and several other toys. The chairs where they get their hair cut are also pretty nifty. On one side, you have themed seats, as seen in the picture below. In addition to the truck Lucas was sitting in, there was a tractor and two seats presumably for girls, since they were pink vehicles (hey, to each their own if your boy wants to sit there). :) On the other side, there were 4 seats for kids who are a little older, as the chairs themselves are normal, but each one has its own Xbox 360 and a plasma TV. Where was all this when I was a kid? Though I suppose it would be hard to mount a huge 20" black and white TV on the wall for use with an Atari 2600.


After we got home, Lucas checked himself out in the mirror? Whaddya think? Pretty good look for him now, huh?



And finally, since he doesn't do it often anymore, his "say cheese" face.
