Jeremiah's hair was getting pretty long so I thought I'd cut it before getting ready for our Thanksgiving feasts. We've only taken him to a professional twice & both times he cried his eyes out, so I decided to buy some clippers & tackle the task myself. I think I've cut his hair maybe 5 or 6 times already and it's always been a hit or miss, depending on his mood. This day was not a good mood day. He kept pulling his shoulders up and crying. I'm surprised he doesn't jump off the chair! Anyway, we were both getting frustrated so I decided to shave his head.
Poor Miah. I always feel sorry for him because he hates getting his hair cut. I think it's cause the cut hair sticks to his neck & it gets itchy. He usually likes his haircut after he's calmed down & taken a shower. After his shower I put a hoodie on him cause I had shaved his head so much that I thought his head would be cold. Poor baby, he was so ashamed of his haircut that he didn't wanna take his hoodie off. Luckily after hours of telling him his haircut was nice, he began to like it. At one point even pointed to his head & said, "Mommy, nice hair cut!" and smiled. The top picture was Jeremiah at Thanksgiving dinner, not minding his haircut at all.
Well, today is the picture below it. This was before we went to Grandma Marie's house to watch the Charger game, see all the cousins and welcome our cousin from Canada who just flew in last night. Mind you, we didn't see all these people on Thanksgiving so they didn't know about his hair. Needless to say, when we went in, everyone in the house made a fuss about it and he got ashamed & would not take off his hoodie. They weren't making any bad comments, but Jeremiah has never had his hair this short, so I think everyone was just surprised. Poor Miah, I felt so bad for him, but I took off his hoodie anyway (not w/out a fight) just so he could see it wasn't a big deal.
Luckily it didn't bother him anymore and I think he's back to liking it. I'm still trying to get used to how short it is, but I can't stop touching his head cause his hair is so soft! haha.
