Eliot's First Haircut

I just recently started to notice that Eliot's hair was getting a little bit shaggy. It didn't really bother me until the back started to look more like rat tail (UGH! Remember those "trendy" things!) So we took Eliot for his very first haircut at SnipIts in Burlington today. Eliot was so great! He didn't cry or anything. The nice hairdresser just gave him a few animal crackers and he was good to go! We told her to take a little off the back and the sides, but to leave most of the length and to leave the top. She did a great job, but I already miss those "wings" that curled out on the sides of his head :(

I want to add that from a photography stand point, these photos are awful! Their noisy (from the high ISO, from the lack of light inside the salon), and there are color casts galore! That being said, I love them for what they are: awesome memories of my sweet baby boy :)

All done! He even got a prize (stickers!) They have a little card that they hand the kids when they walk in, and when they are done, they get to stick the card into a slot and when they do, it vacuums up some of their hair that had been cut and spits out a prize- it's so cute! What's cuter is that Eliot then tried to put his prize back in through the card slot so that it would do it again and spit out another prize!
