The Hardest Thing I've Done as a Parent
Being a parent is all about facing the challenges that come with raising your kid and overcoming them. Sometimes they're small challenges. Sometimes they're big ones. But tonight, I and Chelsea experience a colossal challenge: cutting Traven's hair.
He doesn't like loud noises, to begin with, so he was less than thrilled about even going near the clippers. Then the battery kept dying out on it, which made the ordeal even longer since we had to stop after a few swipes to let the thing charge back up again. Worse still, I decided to try helping Chelsea out (she has a presentation she has due by 11 pm tonight) and ended up accidentally cutting his hair shorter in the back.
Right now, he's got a halfway completed haircut with a short patch along the back of his noggin, but we're getting there. Now that I've found the right charger, the clipper should charge up a lot faster. He's already cranky about the haircut, but now it's pushing past half an hour since he needed to be in bed. And you can set your watch by when this kid goes to bed and wakes up.
I'll fix the horrendous thing I did to his head. Definitely will. This ought to be a great experience for everyone, right?

STOPhaha, this reminds me of my own encounter with my (back then) toddler son... his hair was all over the place, and I had been pushing it forward for almost a year :) It was needed, and a friend offered to use the clippers so I didn't have to go to the hairdresser (as that was a terrible experience with his sister a few years before that lol) .. To my surprise the first time went awesome.. but the second time and every time after that was a drama... he went totally nuts even from the sound of the thing, when it wasn't even near his head.. I've had some oops moments with his hair too because of him moving his head suddenly :)
These things are hard in the beginning, but will get better eventually. My youngest is 2,5 and she still hates it.. So now I decided to let it grow longer, and wait a while before trying a hairdresser visit again..
