Men and Mane

Riley despises anyone who dare touches his body. Like doctors or tailor and his most hated are barbers! In the three times, we've had his hair cut, it was embarrassing and a disaster! I swear! Riley is screaming and hair is all over our body (I hold him everytime!) that I wish I hadn't put him in that misery of his. We tried everything - lollipop, candies, toys, the praises like "mabait yan e" or "matapang yan." But nothing works. I could let his hair grow longer but I prefer him with a clean cut and it's much more comfortable. Plus, he have to deal with his hair sooner or later. In result, his agony:

his first hair cut!

his third haircut. his second one was the worst that I didn't have the energy to take a picture.

The third haircut was last April of this year. And Riley's hair grew fast! Once in a while we trim his bangs but I think he really needed a haircut. 

I found a salon that caters to kids. Instead of an ordinary chair, they have a car chair. At first, Riley is excited. But after a while, he started to cling to me again. But at least he doesn't scream and cry. He started to cry but then I was quick with words. "Pupunta tayo ng Jolibee at bibili tayo ng spaghetti!" And that actually works! Hehe.

He looks mature looking in his new haircut. I am proud of him. I hope next time he'll be completely at ease. And even if I paid thrice as much from the usual barber shop, it's fine. Maybe he likes the salon better or maybe he is really growing up! And growing up for the better! Yipee!
