Some Things R Best Left 2 Pro’s

 

Few days ago, I decided to give Javier a hair cut. I didn’t have the tools except for the barber kinda’ comb and a pair of scissors. I thought I could take it off easily so I was determined to try.

It happened during one of his bathing time. I put him in his old baby tub while he played around; I did the cutting. He moved here and there, squiggling around, spraying water everywhere. Next thing I know, there were obvious ‘cat-scratching’ patterns on his head. The back was OKAY but somehow I must have been so occupied snapping away without realizing what I’ve done. I think it was horrible but he was so happy that he didn’t have to visit the barber. He even said that, now he looked like daddy with daddy’s hair. 

(i think i have to smack my face for what i've done)

   

So, I quickly SMS Jake, telling him what I’ve done and guess what! He can’t wait to see the results. OMG. He told me not to do anything about it till he gets home.

He came home looking for Javier who had went into playing ‘hide and seek’. He giggled and gurgled. Oh wow! Jake was saying,

“Aiyo! Look what has mummy done to your hair! See what happens when someone tries to be smart!”

:(

:(

Then, after Jake had his dinner, I begged him to bring Javier to the barber and have a clean cut. Surprisingly, Javier didn’t hesitate. He just went along happily. Now, that got me wonder..hmm maybe he likes going to the barber when the sun goes down? Or maybe he just likes going out at night on a weekday! Before Javier left to the barber and before I locked the door, he said,

“Mommy, you must close the door, If not, the rats and butterflies will come in. Remember to close the door and wait for me downstairs; don’t go up.”

10 minutes later, he’s back in a very gleefully mood. Hopping and skipping while massaging his ‘botak’ head. Automatically he asked for a shower, this time ‘a cold one’, he said and ‘I want bath downstairs’. I then asked him if he cried and he said,

“Mommy, I so good I didn’t cry oh. But, daddy hold my hand.”

After his bath, he proceed to what he does best; ‘susu time’.

Clean shave

-SORRY JAVIER but practice makes PERFECT-

Barbercued

Below are 3 videos that I wanna share during our trip to the barber which highlighted Javier's moments.

• First video - before his turn on the barber chair...
  

• Second video - during haircut session....

• Third video - after the haircut, he gets his reward...

Going to the BarBer

Going to the barber can be quite a nuisance. I always braved myself before bringing Javier for a haircut. He doesn't like the sound of the shaver, its buzzing sound; 'ngggggg'. I've got no choice because there was once, I asked the barber only to use scissors to trim Javier's hair but it turned out pretty weird. So doing it with shaver is the best. Fast and slick!

Whereas Joe loves going to the barber. Maybe he likes the treats he gets after a haircut. Even Judith wants to trim her hair for no reason. Basically after their new hairdo', they get to buy drinks or ice-creams or sweets. It's up to them as long they stay in that very chair until the barber finally sprinkle and dust them with talcum powder. TADA~

Joe always cut first

Before his turn, he was all happy and bubbly!

Javier doing his 'pin-chui' thingy once the barber starts cutting...

'MY HAIRS' ALL GONE!!!'

Joe with his new haircut; checking out the drinks > he got a bottle of Sarsi in the end!

Javier got himself a 7-UP, as usual; he still looks unhappy thou :(

Judith was hiding away from the camera all the time but she got herself a bottle of Ribena!!!

THE VIDEO BELOW WAS SHOT IN FEBRUARY WHEN JAVIER WAS IN 

"A GOOD HAIRCUT MOOD and MODE"

*the barber was kind enough to let him play with the water spray*

P/S: Every now and then, his experience going to the barber gets better and better. I remember last time, I had to hold him down while he screamed away kicking me and the barber. There was once where my mom and I tried cutting his hair for him while he was playing at home but the result was terrible. Imagine!
