the first attempt was only slightly less than traumatic. aunt maggie (or 'bagdhi,' if you're shua) came along with me to try and distract our antsy little man with books, toys, lollipop, etc. we tried it all, but he was not to be swayed.i thanked the woman for not bringing her scissors close to my nutty kid's flailing head and we skedaddled. the sweet boy actually said "thank you" to the people as we walked out :) recovery time in the car was pretty quick with his baboo (pacifier) and makeshift blankies.
round two, immediately after nap, was only attempted because maggie and i now had the persuasive power of cousins on our side. miss m and the bean were happy to help distract shu. we had videos of doggies, a steering wheel attached to the chair and the same lollipop. just enough to get him to stop flailing.God bless that woman. i wish i could remember her name...we'll see her again, though. in another 6-8 weeks.
the result:

oh shua, you're so handsome!!! gotta love the persuasive power of cousins. maybe we'll have to cut ij's hair when we visit lili and the boys in ohio this summer (they'll be home from germany for a couple of months). by that time, though maybe we won't even have to have him sit down. we'll just approach from a distance with a pair of garden shears!
