Haircut

First haircut was 13m, Benja was quietly observing the hairdresser and only started crying at the last stage when his hair needed trimming by the electric trimmer.

Second was at 17m before Chinese new year. He started crying as soon as the inexperienced hairdresser switched on the trimmer right at the beginning of the session.

This time, Benja refuse to even sit on the barber's chair. Both barber and mummy awkwardly apologised to each other and we left.

So Daddy asked 姑丈 if we could borrow his electric trimmers. He said yes. We went over and Daddy started shaving the back of Benja's head. 姑姑 held Benja's body still while mummy and the cousins watched on helplessly as Benja cried throughout the session. Even after he's done, Daddy would re-examine the hair and say some parts require more trimming. The process starts again.

Poor Benja, he cried so much that mucous dripped into his lips. Benja tasted his own mucous for the first time!

It took a long 10 minutes for the sobbing to die off.

Back home, Mummy stealthily trimmed and neaten the fringe and borders with scissors. Benja walked all around the house doing his own business. He took the cut quite well. Phew!
