The boys have not had a haircut in a over 2 months now. Up until this point, I had their haircut ~every 5 weeks. They have been BEGGING to grow it out the past couple months and since I was taking a trial run at relinquishing a little control I tried to play along. They think longer hair would be really cool. However, I'm absolutely cringing watching their hair touch the top of their ears. I don't think I can take it any more!
So, like any creative and determined Mom, I noodled this evening attempting to find some way of convincing them it was time for a haircut. I called Tanner into my room and started putting little pigtails in his hair and oohing and ahhing about how I can do his hair now. I told he and Alex that it's like having the little girls I always wanted and never had! That did the trick. Neither wants girl hair and both quickly agreed to a haircut tomorrow :)
Manipulation complete...Mom gets her way this time. Not sure that it will be so easy 5 years from now though!
