Going, going, GONE

A vote was taken and it was unanimous, Nathy was headed to the chair for the chop. It was decided that yes indeed his hair was getting long and straggly and since he was now 1 and an official "boy" he needed his first ever haircut.

It all started as fun and games for Nathy. He isn't normally allowed to play (chew) with his toothbrush so even though he was strapped into his highchair in the bathroom, it was all smiles as he was handed his treasured dino toothbrush. However it didn't take long for the toothpaste and the novelty to wear off, and the tears to start!

In comes Distraction Object 2 - the talking and singing Puppy. This proved a lot more fascinating and therefore gave Daddy some much needed opportunity to bring the clippers out for some quick 'back' and 'sides' work.

Half way through his looks were getting a bit more desperate and more tears threatened to start. However the clever big sister discerned the higher stress levels and decided to dance along with the Puppy's songs. This was Distraction 3 that Nathy happily welcomed. He loves a good boogie and joined in the dancing. Away go the clippers (no good on a bopping bubba) and hello again to the scissors that wait patiently for a 'still' moment to make a few snips.

All in all, it has to be said that Nathy was mostly wonderful for his first experience of the chop.

It also has to be said that Mummy is very sad that her baby has now definitely gone, but she still loves her little boy just as much. Don't grow up too fast Nathy!
