Can you believe it’s already April!! Ugh where did the first quarter of the year go?? Although time is rushing past me, I’m very happy with this first part of the year. First and foremost, my boys and family are healthy! I turned 34 and Jose turned 35! I finally shared my blog with friends and family and I feel so blessed with the amount of positive love and support I’ve received. I did moderately okay with sticking to a healthy living style in January and February but I regressed in March. Moving into the next stage of the year, there are so many exciting family events coming up in just the next few months and I can’t wait! My little brother is going to be a Daddy for the first time! Elias’ is turning 4 next month! Tommy will be playing in his first parks and recreation team! We’re taking 2 vacations this summer! Elias will be starting school in August!!!

Then came the 2nd and I’m not sure what triggered the change but it didn’t go so well; he hesitated, he cried, but he got through it with encouragement. The 3rd was more challenging.

He was kicking, screaming, crying hysterically. It was a tantrum at its finest and anxiety for all us involved. Toddler haircuts increasingly became a dreaded task.

Toddler HaircutThe Struggle

I tried every recommended tip and trick on toddler haircuts: bribes, toys, phone time, candy, I even took him asleep one time. We tried cutting his hair with scissors only, we encouraged him to hold the clippers & scissors (with supervision of course), we had him watch his little brother get a haircut before his got his to show him everything would be okay. I went to every recommend kid friendly, adult, specialized salon and barber, most of them turned us way as soon he began refusing to even sit on the chair, or they didn’t finish the session. I even bought a kit and tried to cut his hair at home. IT WAS BAD!!! …
