Hair Cut Alone

Driving a tractor while enjoying a haircut! The powder cleanup for the itches.

Proud to say "cheese" after the haircut!

The finished haircut!

Haircuts have always been a very big challenge for Tyler. He has "The Hemmert" hair which stands straight up, so we need to keep it short (almost buzzed). Grandma Kerr used to cut his hair and it took Mommy, Daddy and Papa to hold him down. Tyler would kick his feet, arch his back and scream bloody murder. (check older postings for pictures) Once we cut his hair in the garage, and the neighbors came out to see if he was okay!

We all dreaded the haircut nights, so Grandma retired her clippers and we started taking him to the pros for their help. When we first started going to "Cookie Cutters" he had to sit on someones lap and he still cried! After a few visits he realized they weren't going to hurt him so he quit crying, but still wouldn't sit by himself.

That day is behind us all. Tyler is now a real big boy! He sat by himself for his first haircut and seemed to have enjoyed it. He kept a smile on his face the whole time. He was as pleased with himself as we were of him.
