Remedy for hair cut woes
September 24th, 2007 by Shooi
Bryan hates hair cut. I have tried giving him one myself, but the results was terrible. Lots of cries and the haircut looked awful. So, I think I’ll rather leave it to the professionals. Well, there are still cries and struggles but at least the results looked decent.
Last week, we took him for his bi-monthly haircut. He started crying as soon as we enter the shop. And the poor boy was crying non-stop as the barber tried to make him look good. And the barber was really good. He was very patient and I think he used 4 or 5 different shaver settings on 2 settings on Bryan. We were telling him, no need to be so perfect, cin-cai can liao, but he says it is ok. But overall, we were very happy with the end results. This time it was better than the previous tries.
Anyway, back to Bryan. He was crying non-stop even after the barber had stopped cutting. So how to make him stop crying?
He stopped crying as soon as we told him that we’ll take him to McD. And he replied immediately, “Nennenna, mai apple pie? (Buy apple pie at McD). So I said “Ok, yes”
He cheered up immediately. In fact he even said “Thank You” and waved bye-bye to the barber as we leave the shop.
So to prove that mommy don’t lie. We walked to the McD which is just nearby and ordered 1 apple pie for him.
He finished the whole pie by himself, well almost, except for the last bit of pie crust. I thought the pie would have spoilt his appetite for lunch. But luckily he still managed to finish 75% of the cheese omelet that I made for him an hour later. Guess he really does have a separate tummy for dessert.
Who say McD is bad for child??? Check out on the prove here
Shooi: *feeling less guilty*
Oh well, at least he had the hair cut. Maybe next time bring the McD apple pie to the barber or bring the barber to McD.
Shooi: Good idea…but i think he is still too scared of haircut even over McD apple pie. But at least it is getting better now…less struggles….
<p>wah that’s good…i wish i can do that with my boy</p>
Shooi: Ya, my husb also say luckily my boy likes to eat. If not donno how long it will take to get him to stop crying.
How do you cool down the apple pie? The McD ones normally come piping hot right?
Shooi: If it is piping hot, i’ll bite one end off and let it cool off a bit b4 giving it to him. The one he was having was just warm so i let him have it straight away. He can hardly wait anyway. LOL
Next time ‘bribe’ him Nennenna before going to the barber. …:-)
It is good to find out an effective remedy for hair cut, I am still struggling for Charlotte. I don’t food is soemthing i can use to briber her, not even ice-cream or toy, how ah??
Yikes… I wonder if this would work for Evan. His haircut is way overdue.. But thank goodness is not a bi-monthly affair.
I cut Darrius hair last weekend! LOL
I can’t bear to see him cries his lungs out so I DIY! LOL
