A First for Michael
We approached the exercise with some trepidation truth be known as this would be first for Michael and one never knows how little people will react. To what? Their first haircut.
It started while he was in his bath. He didn't seem to perturbed. Rather more interested in what Mummy was holding in her hands, which meant more of an effort not to make a mess with him turning his head this way and that. With his hair looking a tad skew whiff, we decided the clippers would be the best approach to achieve some semblance of a reasonable cut.
Reflecting now, he was remarkably calm even with the clippers. Observing his older brothers having their hair cut recently obviously comforted him somewhat. His interest seemed to focus on the tickling experience he felt. That suited us fine. Although, the longer the exercise progressed, the more he began to become unsettled, if not bored with our efforts.
The shock of the change came a little later when he was moving around his room. The thought was, "Where's our cute little Michael?" He looks so different. A quick glance of the boys and one could be forgiven for thinking he is a smaller Iain. Nevertheless, he is still cute.
