So, we all got haircuts this week. The boys have a preferred barber named Jose. I really like him a lot. He is petite and wears his scissors, combs, etc. in a holster slung around his teeny hips. I'm not sure how much English he speaks, or Spanish, for that matter, as he is a man of very few words. But he knows how to communicate with children. At least, he knows how to commuicate with my children. He not only hears their protests or objections, he anticipates them. He is so quick to respond to their every movement, to back off when necessary, to invite me to intervene, to introduce an alternative option, that the boys are really completely at ease while he does the job. It all happens so fast, and the experience is so painless, that it would be easy to overlook his skill. And, the best part according to the boys, they get to sit in fun vehicles and watch movies during their turn in the chair. Here's Ben in the airplane and Will in the tractor for their "before" shots.
And here they are in their carseats for their "After" poses. Such handsome fellows.
