Chop chop chop...

...was the sound of the scissors as we finally brought Ethan to the hair saloon to have his hair cut after 1 year 9 months and 3 weeks ;p Yup, that was how long we kept his hair except for two trims on his fringe and his side burns when he was a baby... We actually wanted to wait till he is 2 years old for a new look. But since he has been complaining "itchy..itchy" and will ask us to scratch the nape of his neck and sometimes his scalp, we've decided it's time to give the hair saloon a visit.

As it was going to be his first real hair cut, I brought along some toys and his current favourite brochure (he has a thing about brochure ..he will look at it for a long time as if he was reading it hee...) to distract him if he gets restless during the hair cut. Have a look how it went ;p


There goes his long curls...

Ethan with his questioning look : "what is this uncle doing to my hair mummy??" ;p

Since he didn't want to wear the cover to keep the hair away from him, we took off his shirt, put on some talcum powder on him and started giving him one of his toys...and from sitting down...
...to standing up...and to a different toy.....and then his current favourite brochure (which btw was a sales promotion from Chan furniture hehe..)

Ethan looking bored and giving me the "are you finished with your stint as paparazzi mummy??!" ;p
another changed of toy ;p

..and from sitting down to asking hubby to carry him and here Ethan giving hubby a peck hehe...so sweet of him hee...And finally...from this look...
Ethan now looks like this :)
So what say you? More boyish looking? ;p
Overall, it only took the hair stylist about 10-15 mins. Ethan was great with just a little bit of moving around. I would rate him 8/10 ;p I guess the toys and brochure were good companions too hehe...it took me and hubby a while to get use to his new look but I think am beginning to like it though I do still miss his curly hair ;p

Oh mind you, the hair stylist thought he was a girl when he first saw him! hahaha...poor Ethan...not your fault baby...its all mummy's and daddy's fault coz your curls were just too adorable to be cut ;p

I like the curls too tapi he looks even more adorable now. handsome boy! Nasib dia tidak bergaru with the hair. Without the cover, Elaine and Sharlaine just cannot sit still, bagus lagi si Ethan then
