When I grow up....

Paul has recently been having a lot of fun giving everyone who will let him (mommy, daddy, Uncle Ryan, Uncle Chris....) a haircut. His haircuts are quite gentle, although as you can see by the pictures below he has chosen to use the tools from his work bench to give these haircuts! Pliers, a saw, and a hammer are GREAT tools for cutting hair.

He also has a lot of fun "cleaning up" the hair which falls on the floor... just like at the "bahber shop" where daddy and Paul get their hair cut.

Paul's First Haircut

On Tuesday afternoon mommy and Paul went to get Paul's first haircut- we were waiting for a day when Paul had a great day at school and was ready for a new experience. Despite daddy's wishes, we didn't go to the barber shop but headed to a "girly salon" - which was great as the gals there were so nice. Paul did a great job- no tears or even a lot of fear; he wasn't showing a lot of excitement either but will pat his head when you ask about his haircut. Fortunately there was a woman getting her hair blown dry at one point, so that provided plenty of entertainment for Paul to watch while the back of his hair was getting clipped. He even touched the clippers (as did mommy) - I guess we'll be back in a few months for haircut #2!

Haircut

Daddy was a little under the weather today but Mommy had a great day off playing golf with Gram and BB. Later on Paul and Gram helped Mommy plant a pumpkin patch in the back yard as well as some marigolds. You can see the haircut Mommy gave Paul the other night in this picture as well as reading a card from Pop Pop and Nanny Redfern.

First haircut

After reading some of the comments from the August 12 post about mom and dad Bennett's new house and the need for a haircut Leigh-Anne did the honors this morning.


Paul III was not a happy camper. However he had smiles on his face when he woke up from his nap and Dad had gotten him a new toy.

Good luck to Uncle Ryan who is off to Susquehanna University this week!
