My 4 year old skinhead

I have always cut the boys' hair. I even cut Monte's. My mom was a hairdresser all my growing up years, so I feel comfortable doing it. I have only really messed up once when Isaac was just a toddler. I had to take him into Cookie Cutters (a kid's hair cutting salon) to have them fix it.

Well, my good record ended today. After school I decided that it was time to cut the boys' hair. I always do the same cut on each of them, so I decided to try something different with John and Josiah. I used the trimmers on John's hair, something I never do. It came out cute.

It was then Josiah's turn. I decided I was going to try the bowl cut like the Amish do. I have always thought it was cute and have noticed that it is starting to come back into style. I did it and well... um... it came out ok, but it wasn't for him. I think he may be too old for the cut. I am not sure. But anyway it didn't look good on him. So, I took the trimmers and was going to do his normal cut and this happened.



I forgot to put the trimmer shield back on...

Can you say MORTIFIED?

OH MY WORD...

I tried to call my mom to ask for advice. I couldn't get a hold of her, so panic set it. I knew what my only option was, but I couldn't think straight. I called Monte and told him what happened. He said, "It is only hair, it'll grow back." I really don't think he can visualize how bad it is. He'll know when he gets home tonight!

OK fine... I grabbed the clippers and finished saving his head. The whole time I kept saying over and over again "Josiah, I am so sorry." Poor kid...



I took him to the mirror after it was done and his word was... "COOL!"

Nice, I now have a 4 year old skinhead!
