Haircuts and Hibernation

We are in full swing hibernation here at the Wright house.  I've read 4 books this week and I'm almost done with my 5th.  I rarely change out of my pj's and I rarely change James out of his.  We don't really go anywhere unless we have to.   It boils down to we are lazy and enjoying it.  I've been asking around to see if anyone else has the hibernating bug.  Turns out we aren't the only ones.

Rocky on the other hand is not hibernating.  He is usually up at 3:30am.  Isn't that crazy?  James and I think so - we won't tell you when we get up.
James hair was starting to get really long - like he was getting a rats nest in the back.  Now if he had a party in the back (a groovy mullet) that would be a different story...but it wasn't a party, it was a rats nest .  The kind that you can't tame - even with the powerful mommy paste (saliva for those of you not familiar) .  Oh and it was getting too long for a mohawk, a mohawk styled with water (as you can see we go all out on styling product).

Rocky and I strapped him into his chair that attaches to the counter,  he wore only a diaper, we put on pbs show (I would tell you what it is but I don't know how to spell it and I don't want to look it up - ummmm hibernating over here, remember?).  We plugged in the clippers and started cutting.  James did really well.  I was worried that he would want to hold the clippers, he didn't, well he kinda did but the show did just enough distracting that the clippers remained safe.  So baby hair is pretty thin, or at least James baby hair is pretty thin so the clippers had a hard time.  These aren't your high class cut any type of hair salon clippers, these are cheap, Walmart specials.  Well, and, we aren't your high class salon hair stylists, so the clippers are perfect for us, but not for super fine baby hair.  So it took a while but we did it.  No more rats nest and a pretty handsome mohawk.  Success!

Kent still has not got his first cut. So it's a good thing your boy has lots of hair. He looks great!
