You know it is time for a hair cut when... it looks like you have a rat tail coming out of the back of your head.
Or when you can turn said rat tail into an Alfalfa hair do.
This morning we decided to turn Finley's mullet into a more manly do.
I was very surprised at how still he was while I cut his hair.

This morning we decided to turn Finley's mullet into a more manly do.
For some reason I felt compelled to cut Finley's hair myself.
I felt like I should know how to do this since I am a stay at home mom. Or maybe my previous experience cutting David's hair gave me confidence to tackle Finley's head.
So we turned on Elmo, slicked his hair, and went to town.

I was very surprised at how still he was while I cut his hair. I expected lots of resistance, but that kid was glued to the TV.
Which made my job easier...right?
First up, a little off the top.

First up, a little off the top. Finley's bangs were starting to hang down into his eyes so they needed a bit of a trim.
Then we needed to show off his cute little ears.
Yeah. No way to fix that! 
Now onto the rat tail. 
In the end I think it turned out alright.
This is my 'good' side.
The back is a bit 'hairy' up close, but from a distance it looks ok.
I don't think I will attempt to cut his hair myself next time.

The ears always give me problems.
The first one looked fine, but trimming around the second ear turned into a disaster.
I cut out too far from his ear and here is the result below.

Now onto the rat tail. Cutting this off made me realize just how much hair was back there!
No wonder people kept asking me how old SHE was.

It is too stressful and I am sure someone else could do a much better job.
But for his first hair cut, it had to be done by the mama.

I can't believe you did it! I was shocked with I say the post title, before I even started reading. Ü
I think you did a good job! And, that ear hair will grow back fast enough. Ü
Wow, still can't believe Finley got a hair cut. Ü
Awesome job on the hair! (I think it must be much harder to cut a boy's hair.) I felt the same way and cut Claire's hair up until recently when finally I caved and took her to a professional. It's really sweet to give it a try, and you can always "clean up" in between visits to the pros. Loved your pics and stories!
i miss the mullet...
I love it! I think you did a good job for your first time. Don't take him to a "professional"--practice makes perfect, and he has the perfect head to practice on, since his face is cute--it will make up for any hair problems. :)
You did great! If you already cut David's hair, how much different can it be? :)
It looks awesome... I am impressed!
Very impressed...Good job!
