barber shop duet

quentin's hair has gotten pretty long over the summer. of course i think it is adorable when it's a little bit long, because he gets curls. but it was definitely getting to the point where even i knew it was time for a trim. i planned to take Q to the supercuts or whatever is here but grandpa really wanted him to go to his barber shop, so that's where we went.

"the deal" - grandpa promised ice cream if Q behaved

thank goodness for monster trucks. that kept us sane (and relatively quiet during the hour and a half wait for the barber.) seriously, an hour and a half after grandpa left us there. for the 4 dudes ahead of us to get their hair cut. and most of these dudes were in the 75+ age category, so that really wasn't that much hair to cut to begin with. and no one else seemed to think this wait was particularly long so this must be the norm. a way for men to avoid women. and take more time than necessary to perform a task. like when they bring reading material into the can. but anyway, i digress. it was a long, long wait for a 3 year old.

sitting in the chair he had to sit on a weird booster board to make him tall enough

angelo may be a bit slow and methodical with the hair cutting, but he's not dumb. he has a stash of matchbox cars for when the kiddos come. and the matchbox cars may actually be as old as the dudes in the lobby :)

the after. enjoying his hard-earned ice cream cone
