I bought hair clippers yesterday because Mike likes to have his neck cleaned up every once in a while between hair cuts. I bought it thinking that's all I would use them for... well after testing them out last night, Mike asked if I would just finish the job and cut the rest of his hair. I was super nervous but he insisted I couldn't mess it up. I begged to differ, but these clippers came with those gauge extensions where you can't cut shorter than a certain point, so I went ahead. I was really surprised at how well it came out. I think the hair cut I gave Mike is on par if not better than the ones he gets at super cuts. Score!

So I was feeling a little confident and decided I'd try them out on Connor. I stood behind him as he was "brushing his teeth" (which is him just holding the toothbrush under the running water and then sucking on the toothbrush) and proceeded to hack away. He didn't enjoy it, but he didn't squirm as much as he did when I use to try cutting his hair with plain ol' hair scissors. It went fast and it turned out pretty ok. Not as good as what my sister did with her toddlers hair but definitely OK.

I may have put a little too much product in his hair though. Haha!

I guess I could probably try to straighten out the back bottom of his hair, but I didn't want it to be "too clean" of a hair cut. But I may change my mind.

I never got a shot of Mike's hair, but when I do, I'll share it!
