Professional Haircut

Steph took Evan to get his first professional haircut today! In the past we've cut his hair at home (actually, as I've related before, Steph would cut and I would entertain), but it's always been a bit of a struggle in one way or another, and Steph usually comes away feeling like there was a part she missed or could have done better on. We're heading up to Seattle this weekend for a friend's wedding (more on that in a few posts), so she figured it was time to try taking him to a kids hair salon (where the chairs are all cars of various types):

It may appear in this picture like Evan isn't having the best time, and there's a reason for that... he hated it. There's something about high-pitched motors he really doesn't like (we can't use the blender or the dust buster when he's around unless we want to deal with him pitching a fit), so having the electric clippers right next to his head was more of a challenge than he was able to deal with. That, and he's a little kid -- do any little kids like having their hair cut? If so I haven't met them.

Anyway, this was the only picture Steph had time to take before he started bawling. Fortunately the ladies who work there are used to this reaction, and they're also super fast, so the whole ordeal was over in just a couple of minutes... and his hair looks very nice now.
