What a "Bover" long hair is

Tristan's hair was "bovering" him so much that he couldn't concentrate on his reading this morning.


It was looking scraggly so I set up my Mommy barber shop (hair clippers).


Tristan didn't like his haircut though because he only wanted the front cut he wanted to keep the rest long until summer. I convinced him we should do it the same all over and he agreed but then felt upset after it was cut off. I haven't a lot of skill in hair cutting and can really only do a buzz cut with the clippers or no cut at all. I did use a longer length plastic thing so it wouldn't be totally summer short.


No photos please, I'm too distressed by this short hair!

Tristan soon forgot about the hair cutting incident had a quick shower to get the itchy hair off and played happily the rest of the day. He kept a handful of his cut hair though! LOL
I on the other hand noticed that one of Tristan's toys needed sprucing up. His magnet set. He used to bring his magnet set absolutely everywhere, he only brings it sometimes now. The set has been to parks and co-op's and friends houses etc. The set was filthy! I was worried about it all rusting but on second look decided I didn't care, all the magnet parts and pieces looked filthy. I soaked it all for an hour then rinsed and dried and the magnets look good as new again. No rust!

I'm so sorry that Tristan is not happy with his haircut. I love a man in a buzz cut. I have achieved the same skill level as you, Jodi. This led to a revolt of two boys refusing to let me cut their hair recently. Finally we decided to take them in - because none of us could stand the way they looked and they didn't want one more mommy buz.... I thought the last one was great - but evidently it was way to short for Nolan - and Zander followed his lead in the hair revolt. ::sigh::

I don't know why, but haircutting is something I've never attempted on any of my kids.
