Oh no!! Poor Micah! I couldn’t even get good photos of him because he was moving so much and was all upset when we announced to him that it was time to cut his hair. For a few weeks we were trying to show him various hairstyles and he wanted his long hair and hated all the examples we showed him. However, once a friendly older man was saying what a beautiful little girl he was at the supermarket, our waiting was up. It was time. He cried and cried because he likes his long hair (and honestly, I loved it too and thought he looked like Luke Skywalker), but he still twists and pulls his hair while he sucks his thumb. :: sigh :: If he didn’t pull at it so much, we wouldn’t have cut it at all. Here he is crying. This was while I was trimming it down (it was longer before taking this shot).
While cutting he said that he wanted it “THIS” way . . .the way it is, so I stopped. It could have used some pruning, but he was having such a hard time, that we stopped for him. We don’t have a bathtub by the way, only a stand-in shower, but Micah is small enough that he still fits in the sink (Leto takes showers). He was much happier. After I washed his hair I was able to style it better as you’ll see in the next photo. It is similar to what we’ve done to Leto’s hair in the past, but I guess that’s why he wanted it.

Cute kid! Hair cuts can be trauma-inducing. In college I cut my own hair. I induced trauma in those who saw the results of my efforts.

Aw, he looks so cute! You do an awesome job Victoria! I have been trimming my son’s hair too – I’m pretty amateur but it’s pretty easy because his hair is curly. I feel so bad though because he wiggles and cries, “ouch” every time I start (though I know it’s really not hurting him and he just doesn’t want to sit). Oh little boys!

I cut Gwenny’s hair for the first time a couple weeks ago! I wanted to wait because she seemed so young, but her bangs were reaching down to her mouth and she refused to wear bows. Now she has bangs like me.
It wasn’t nearly as traumatic as I expected.

I thought the tears would go on through the night, but as soon as I started shaving the back of his head he started smiling.

I need you to teach me how to cut hair! My hubs could use a trim, and you obviously know your stuff. It may have been traumatic…but Micah looks great

The problem is that he plays too much with his hair that since his cut, his hair is all over the place haha. I’ve been cutting people’s hair since I was 6. . .I always experimented. Try it sometime.
