the great hair debacle

jagger's hair has gotten really long, especially his mohawk.  so today, papa decided it was time trim up the 'hawk.  the problem is, jagger hates getting his hair cut.  it has only been the last two times we've cut it that he has started to freak out.  the first time he freaked out, i think was because we didn't realize he had an ear infection, and the noise coupled with the sensitivity around his ears was too much for him; and now he is remembering that time.  corey thinks he is just being difficult.  well, whatever the cause, he hates it and as soon as he realizes what going to happen, he covers his ears and tries to run away from us.  

today we plopped him in his booster seat in front of the television, turned on sesame street really loud in the hopes that it would distract him, and began the cut.  he immediately started crying and would not sit still, which made it difficult to get the mohawk straight.  after a bit of struggling, corey started to get frustrated and went with a buzz cut {sigh, sadness, for i really love the mohawk}.  

and then, corey went to trim around his neck, and jagger's struggling, and i'm holding his hands to keep him from touching his hair, and corey's telling me to keep jagger still, and during this mass chaos, this happened:

a big ol' chunk of hair cut out where it's not supposed to be.  whoops.

i find it kinda funny, plus, it gave me something to blog about.  jagger's hair grows pretty fast so it won't even be noticeable before too long.  but corey... corey did not find it funny.  of course, he is the one that is struggling to cut jagger's hair so i can definitely understand his frustration and anger.  but he's over it now and we can laugh about it.

here's the final product.  look at this guy... 

he looks so different with his hair cut short. 

so much older.  not like my little toddler anymore, more like a little boy.  and it makes me a little sad.
my goodness.  i love you kid.  my heart just overflows.
