hair cut??

There is one thing Andrew cannot stand: TO GET A HAIR CUT! I remember the first time, we took him to a barber. The poor child, screamed so loud that people around him started to get worried about getting their hair cut at that place. He would not even sit on the chair, so we took him home.
We sat him on a high chair and put his favorite tv show on. We asked his brother to make him laugh while my husband would start cutting his hair. After a few minutes, Andrew figured out that we were tricking him into something not fun. He started once again screaming, moving in such a way that cutting his hair was simply impossible.
What could we do? The child looked like he could be on the cover of a "Kool and the Gang" 40 years reunion...
So, I tried something else: cutting his hair in the shower when he has shampoo on his hair. I took scissors and started cutting, all was fine until he saw his hair falling in the tub. He started screaming because he was scared of seeing his black hair around his feet. He may have thought they were bugs. So I started picking his hair up from the tub each time I would cut a curl. I took me about 30 minutes but I gave Andrew a good trim. It does not look too bad and no one has made any bad comments regarding his hair style. Next, we need to trim his toe nails...
