James was due for another haircut, so the 3 of us packed up one Saturday morning and went to see George. The wait was a little longer but James entertained himself and the other customers by running around the small barber shop and playing with the endless amounts of old McDonald's toys in the treasure box.
He liked the other chair and of course managed to crawl through every bit of hair from the previous customers that George missed with the dust pan!
When it was finally James' turn - George went to comb through his hair - only to find some leftover Strawberry pop-tart stuck in the back :(
I attempted to remove it so he would still like George and allow him to cut his hair - but no luck. We waited an hour only to be sent home to clean it out and come back another time.
(Can you say "parents of the year award?!?")
Now to be fair - we knew he often puts his hands behind his head while chewing his food - but I really thought I had gotten it all before we left home!
James was thrilled - a free sucker and no haircut - best Saturday ever!
Patrick was able to take James back for a second attempt this past Friday (straight out of the bath, just in case!) and between sitting on Daddy's lap and alternating between a new sucker and his nuk - we had a successful haircut!
This haricut was also followed by a second bath to remove all of the cut hair - and as you can see, we have a very happy, blue-mouthed (from the sucker) little boy!
Thanks to George and Patrick for their patience --- :)
