Haircut

Today we took Terry to get his haircut at Sports Clips. It went great! Many of you know that a haircut with him is not a walk in the park. We had a bad experience a while ago and since then he wants nothing to do with it.
Since Mimi was here visiting it was a good chance to take him. We gave him lots of pep talks beforehand and had plenty of suckers, stickers, a smoothie and a trip to Jumpin Monkey's if he did well. He does not like it when they spray the water so the very nice lady there agreed not to do that.


The lady that cut his hair was as sweet as can be was a trooper! She gave him a little football to hold and a sucker. He did very well at first while slurping on his strawberry smoothie that Mimi got him. About 5 minutes into it he had enough and starting crying and rubbing the hair all over his face...which really makes him mad. So we ended it there and the cut turned out great!


Mimi felt like we should take Miss Tonya something for being such a nice lady and to have Terry associate the place with something nice and fun. So after our super fun day at Jumpin Monkey's and lunch with Dad, Terry took Tonya some flowers:) It was so cute and Patti said Tonya just about started crying! Hopefully this is a step in the right direction away from Terry's haircut phobia.


Here is my handsome man.
