Dear Conor,
Mom finally got around to emptying all the pictures off her camera and iphone and so now I have to back-track a little bit because you have had quite a few big moments the last 60 days that I want to make sure are documented.
One of those things is your first professional haircut. Mommy was taking some fun pictures of you one morning while Daddy was working and when he saw the pictures he said it was time for a hair cut (ignore the fact that to keep your hair out of your food I had put you in a ponytail a few times). So, we headed to "the city" to the kids shop called "Snip-its" for your first haircut.

Snip-its was amazing to walk into. It reminded me of something you would see at a theme park (such as Disney). It was 100% geared towards children and capturing their attention and perhaps lowering any boredom while waiting. Conor had a ton of fun walking around and checking out all the buttons he thought he could push (they weren't functioning buttons).

A few minutes into our wait time we saw a familiar family walk through the door - it was Conor's very good friend Carter and his Mommy and Daddy! Apparently Carter's Daddy said it was haircut time too! How fun for two friends to share their first professional haircut together!

When it was time for your haircut I think Mommy was more nervous than you. They had bubbles which were your current obsession of the week/month and so you were doing just fine. Mommy just didn't want the to take too much off. We blew bubbles and played trucks to keep you entertained while your hair was trimmed.

Carter came by your "station" to watch so that he would be less nervous. You were also getting a little antsy so seeing your friend really helped!
One of the options at this place is to purchase the "first haircut" package. The package includes the haircut, a special first haircut certificate, some of your locks, and a picture! The picture came out a little cheesy because you were ready to go by the time they took it but we were so proud of you anyways! Here we all are - post haircut!
You were such a good boy we took you out for "linner" after your big moment. You already look so grown up - no more ponytails here!

| After! |
Its been 1.5 months since your first haircut and Daddy and I were commenting that it might almost be time for another one. Mommy isn't so sure but one thing is certain - I would have no problem bringing you back to Snip-its!
Here's to your beautiful hair little man!
xoxo
Mommy
