Homemade Haircut


What I meant to do was only buzz the back of Jake's hair with the buzzers and then leave the top long... I had successfully buzzed the back of his hair before. And I thought I could duplicate the hair cut again.


We've all had homemade hair cuts from our parents that made us cringe. I didn't think I'd be on the giving end of a bad hair cut so early in my parenting career...

But he turned his head - or I slipped with the buzzer and next thing I know... his hair is all gone.


As clumps of dark brown hair were falling all around Jake's shoulder and lap - he kept exclaiming in a worried tone, "Wha happen?" I continued to reassure him it was all okay.


I have been tempted to buzz Jake's hair for awhile but hesitated because his hair is so fine and it took so long to come in. And my mom (grandma) was positively against me buzzing his hair. Boy is she in for a surprise tomorrow morning... I expect to receive a stern phone call when I am at work.


But with a little pomade... he looks less like a plurb and more like a little boy...
