Rohan's First Haircut

...wasn't really meant to happen this weekend, but it did. Because Deven freaked out. I mean FREAKED OUT, when we took him to get a trim recently. He did this last time Yogesh took him as well - and it ended with a poorly-executed haircut, a traumatized kid, and a true fear of scissors. Look carefully @ the photo and you can see a perfectly-straight bald spot where Rohan's hair was trimmed as an experiment to get his Big Brother Deven to try to calm down...an experiment that didn't quite work.




This Saturday morning, we took Deven to a hairdresser, where he was so fearful that we even tried taking scissors to Rohan's head and snipped a few locks (unevenly above his ear) - but Deven wasn't buying the "it's safe" routine.



I tried repeating "Hairdressers are nice" to Deven - which he was happy to repeat with me - but it didn't help, either. So, we keep a hat on both for now, and hope that either their Nanny, Sangye, can make Deven sit still; or better yet, Naani and Grandpa don't notice the loooong hair behind Deven's ears because he's so cute eating strawberries (as he was doing in the 2nd photo), and so they just don't notice things, when they come to visit later this week!
