First Haircut

Yes, I know Carter is only 8 months old.

And he doesn't have much hair to speak of.

  

But a first haircut is a once-in-a-lifetime experience

and we thought what better place for a lasting memory than

right on Mainstreet, at Disney's Harmony Barbershop?!

So that's exactly what we did.  And Mommy took lots of pictures.

Carter fell asleep on the ferry ride to Magic Kingdom

and woke up just in time for his haircut.

Once inside, Carter loved smiling at all the people

and he was fascinated by the ceiling fan

  

Then it was time for his haircut. 

 He wasn't so sure at first.

But after some reassurance from his barber,

quite a few Mickey Mouse stickers,

 

fun toys, comfort from dad,

and that wonderful ceiling fan, 

 things were looking better.

Until the dreaded clippers came out.

Carter didn't like the looks of those.

 Or the sound of them.

And he definitely didn't like the feel of them on his little neck.

So here is when Mommy "called it" and said haircut OVER!

His barber gave Carter some new Mickey ears as a peace offering.

And Carter cautiously accepted.





Then he checked himself out in the big mirror.

And the little mirror.

 And got some cuddles from a guilty Mommy

who was feeling terrible about the crying

until Carter cheered her up with his awesome smile. 

Our big boy earned a Certificate of Bravery for his

mostly cheerful attitude throughout the process. 

Then Grandma took him outside to see the barber pole.

And we all headed back down Mainstreet,

towards the beautiful castle,

and the rest of our MAGICAL day!
