Finally. It’s been 6 months, I think! And boy did he need it.

I used to cut his hair when he was sleeping. When he was little, I could lay him down on a pad on the floor once I got him to sleep, and just clip clip clip and he’d sleep through it, oblivious.

No more. On two or three separate occasions over the last two months, I’ve tried that same approach. He wakes up the second he touches the floor. After completely losing naps those days, I gave up. The last time I attempted it was last Monday. When I realized he wasn’t taking a nap, I set him up, naked, in his booster seat in front of a Baby Einstein DVD and went to it. It worked even better! And he got a bath out of the deal too! And the only way I could bribe him out of the bath was to remind him that he could finish watching his DVD!

Here’s the new haircut (cranky looking because it was near bedtime on a no-nap day):
