Haircut

Before: Neftalí a.k.a. "Shaggy," playing educational games on my district-issued laptop.

The mountain of beautiful, chocolate hair that came from Nefty's head

After: Nefty's new 'do'

Being a mother of 3 boys, 1 one thing is certain - I need to learn how to give home haircuts. This idea doesn't excite me much, since I tried once to give my husband a haircut, and I was so nervous it was tricky to get straight lines, and he flinched a lot. That couldn't have been a good sign. :)

But, Neftalí and Solomon have both been in need for a serious trim for quite awhile now, and I just can't stand to spend $12+ on each of them at a salon. So I broke down and bought a nice trimmer and gave it a whirl. For a first timer, I must admit, I think I did pretty good. The sideburns aren't entirely even, and the back neck line is a little high, but other than that, no serious injuries. And Neftalí seems pretty pleased with his new do. :) Now I just need to get the courage to cut Sol's hair - and hopefully he will sit still long enough!
