My friend, Erin, just started cutting hair and came over to give me and JJ a haircut yesterday. JJ does not like getting his haircut, and actually last summer he acted like we were beating him when we tried to shave it.
JJ went first and a couple of minutes into it asked me quietly, “Mom. can you get me my glasses?” I didn’t understand because he doesn’t wear prescription glasses, I clarified with him what he meant and he wanted his sunglasses. I found his sunglasses and he put them on and wore them through the entire haircut, I guess they helped him cope. We all have our coping mechanisms I guess, Erin and I quietly giggled about it – she said it reminded her of the kid in Big Daddy with Adam Sandler.
Something fun though for all summer playgroupers over here…I asked Erin if she could come over like once a month and do kids haircuts inside during playgroup – and she loved the idea. Now I just have to swindle a Starbucks barista, and esthetician and work on my kids cleaning machine and all my playgroup dreams will come true.…summer come quick!

you forgot personal chef, fitness trainer, and scantily clad men to fan us on those hot days.

The picture alone made me laugh out loud. Maybe more kids hair places should have sunglasses for the kiddos.

I need playgroup now. I think Annie is going through Peel withdrawal. She now can’t stop talking about JJ, and I like Missy’s idea of adding a personal chef.
