AFTER

I think I did a pretty darn good job cutting my one year old's hair with electric clippers, if I do say so. My secret was putting him in his high chair with a movie in front of him on my laptop and letting Elly feed him smarties one by one. Still, it was NOT easy.

Elly likes to refer to haircuts as "shortcuts"; you can't cut hair without it getting shorter, right? She got a new "shortcut" last week:

I didn't bother combing her hair before we went, as you can see.

While we were waiting, we got a cupcake next door.

I said "Elly, show me your new haircut".

The best part of getting a "shortcut" is the sucker afterward.
