Joseph has always been deathly afraid of the hair clippers. The usual haircut for him consists of holding him down and buzzing his head at all one length as fast as possible while he screams bloody murder. But lately, Darren's been taking him to the salon when he gets his hair cut and Joseph has gotten aquainted with his hairdresser and the way the salon works. So now when it's time for a haircut, we play "haircut store." I have to set up my station and put up an "OPEN" sign on the door of my store. Then Joseph comes in and pretends he's Darren and I pretend I'm Lyn. It goes a little something like this:
Me: Hello, Darren. How are you doing today?
Joseph: Oh, I'm doing fine.
Me: How are your kids?
Joseph: Well, Joseph is 3 and he is just great and baby Justin is doing good too.
Me: And how's work going?
Joseph: Well I'm very busy, but I like my building.
There has been considerably less and less crying and last week I actually got to try to give him a "real" haircut by leaving it long on top and fading up the sides. Not bad for a first try, huh? I can now add "hairdresser" to my list of titles as a mom.

Hi Jill and Darren! How creative you are with haircut store. That is so fun! Suppose I could get pointers on how to do "Make-your-own-phone-calls Store" for Eric?
