Cole's "First" (Second) Haircut

So I took Cole today for his first big boy haircut. Technically, he had his first haircut by me about 6 weeks ago, I decided to trim up the sides myself right before we went to New Orleans. I did an ok job, but it's grown quite a bit since then, so it was time for it to happen for real. 

I was out running errands this morning and thought maybe I could swing by right when they open and make it happen. The timing was great and we got right in! He was all happy and smiles and exploring when we first got there, but became weary quickly after being put in the car. The cape came over him, and that was the first straw. She got his hands free, but he still wasn't happy. Then she wet his hair and it all came crashing down! Poor baby, you'd have thought he was being tortured! He cried real, big, fat tears. All we could do was laugh! In his defense, it was naptime. Past it actually. But hey, when you're the 3rd child and Mom gets an idea to get a haircut, you just have to go with it! I laughed when I was telling Eric about it because I distinctly remember with Carter the 1st haircut being this planned out thing, making sure he was napped and fed before we went in so he'd be on his best behavior. Even Ella's (though she was older) was pretty well planned out. Not poor 3rd child Cole, on a whim is the only way to go! And oh boy, did he suffer! Enjoy these pics. :)

Ummm, what's happening here?!

I

 Not feeling this, Mom

 Ok, water?! Noooooo!! Not water!

 Calmed down for a quick second....

 But now she's cutting!! Back to big tears!

 When is this going to stop?!

 And I will say, this girl did a great haircut, considering all the swatting and twisting he was doing! It looks awesome, and he looks another year older somehow. :)

And if you didn't believe me by the pictures, here's a video. :) 

He's actually kind of faking it here..... you know, trying to get all the sympathy he can.
