See Rodger, I told you I can't cut hair!

I have a friend, Rodger, who insists that I can cut Jack's hair. It's not hard. He'll get used to holding still and I'll get pretty good at giving a haircut. After all, his wife, Carol learned to cut his hair and their two sons' hair. I listened to him once before and said I'd never do it again but we're running short on money so I thought I'd try it again because Jack's hair is gettin' kind of long.***

So here's how it went...hey Jack, want Mommy to cut your hair? Poor guy was a willing victim...
First, I messed up the back....
I'd felt sure I could do better up top on the front but alas....
Ooops, I guess I was not paying attention when I did this part....
It's okay, Mommy, I love you anyway!
***I actually did not do all this damage. I just trimmed around his ears. His haircuts were thanks to Dr. Wellons and the neurosurgery team at Children's but I thought we could all use a little humor in our day. :)

You are such an awesome mom. Jack is (to understate it) AMAZING! To explain all of the detail that he had endured the past few weeks and then to see him smiling? I mean WOW! God has really blessed him with endurance and tolerance. You are so lucky to have Jack's sweet face smiling at you, thru it all!

Thanks, Mika. We are very blessed. He is a good natured fellow and he can manage to smile through so much!

Too funny! I gave Cole a haircut once, it was horrible...now we just shave it down. Cole has thick hair that grows very fast.
Glad Jack is doing better. I read this post every day, multiple times. I prayed for you all and thought about you so much.
Many Hugs to you all!! Dawn (and Cole)

Thank you, Dawn! Jack's hair grows pretty fast, too. It should be interesting to see how it grows out.

Jack's all smiles. :D We've been talking about a hair cut, but afraid to do it - can't they just stay long with locks until the next cranio ? ;)

hey jack ! - sid & co.
