On Saturday, Ben and I went to Wal-Mart and bought hair clippers. Gavin who was Mr. Shaggy Monster was in serious need of a haircut. THE REASON: he HATES having his haircut... from day one it's been this way. When he was little we tried to give him a style... now it just gets buzzed off. After a half hour of torture for all parties involved, Ben and I finally managed to finish... and yes, it took both Ben and I to manage getting it cut at all. So here is where I need suggestions... How do I get my kid not to hate and fear haircuts so much!? I've tried everything. We've given him candy/food (the magic of a sucker didn't work), we tried to let him watch tv/movies, we've bribed him with all kinds of toys and had people try to sit and play with him during it, and we have tried just about everything we can think of to make it a game and fun for him to no avail. I would love to give him a haircut more often, but I end up waiting as long as I possibly can because I end up frustrated and covered in hair, and Gavin ends up covered in hair, snot, and tears.
Isn't he cute with his little buzz cut!? I took this picture because he had gotten himself stuck this way in the highchair and couldn't get out by himself. It was pretty funny.

Cute blog Lachelle. You're family is just too stinkin' cute.
As for suggestions, I can't really help you. Ben always sits very still and tries his very best to be patient while I cut his hair. Ha ha. Just one more reason why I don't think this family could handle any little boys.
Now, you can find our blog. Have a great day!!
Now you know a little bit of the life of having a girl...but you have to do hair everyday. We used to have fights about it daily!! (but now we cut it short & its easy & andie likes having her hair done!)
Try going somewhere fun? Maybe if you pay for it once, make it special, then at home would be better?
Hair cutting is always fun, isnt' it? My suggestion is doing it more often so he gets used to it. Logan is sometimes scared of the noise of the clippers, but if I let him watch in the mirror it helps.
