I set him in James' chair for the before picture and then quickly realized that there was no way I could get to the back of his head like that. (This should have been the first sign that I don't know anything about cutting hair and I should have just put the scissors down and run to Cool Cuts for Kids to have a professional do it. But I was trying to save money and time.)
I picked Josiah up and put him in the Bumbo instead. It helps him kind of sit up and I can turn him around to see everything. I sprayed his hair with a little water which took his breath away. Then I started to cut. I figured that cutting the hair above his ears would be the best place to start. I pulled the hair back and cut off about an inch or so. Then I realized I had cut too much. I did better on the other side but it was already too late. His neckline is not much better. Needless to say I want Josh to take him to Cool Cuts and see if they can try to fix it. I am too embarrassed to take him myself.
I took an after picture which does not look bad at all. (Notice that you can't see the back or sides of his head. All the places I cut.) Lesson learned: Leave haircutting to the pros. Seriously.

I have made the same mistake myself - don't feel bad! It looks so easy when you watch the hairdressers snip the kids' hair. I always thought, Why am I paying 14.99 for this? Cooper was around a year when I made my first mistake. Now I'm dencess"Cartoon Cuts" #1 fan! : )
My dearest Crystal, you did a fine, fine job on Josiahs hair !!! He looks very handsome like his Daddy. Keep up the good work. Mee-Maw would be proud of you for even attempting the task!! Its not as easy as it looks. Kudos to you, I love you very much.
