The last time I cut Vaughn's hair he cried through the whole thing so I missed a lot of spots. I thought it would be a good idea to cut his hair before we move just so it's done. I got him sitting and ready to go with his towel over his mouth and face. I was about to start when I remembered I hadn't checked what blade was on. I figured I was the last one that used it so it must be the right one. I turned the clippers over and saw the #3 so I knew I was good to go.
I know that you are supposed to start from the back when you cut hair but Vaughn is usually crying by the end of his hair cut so I start at the front so that it doesn't get in his mouth while he's crying. Away I went with the clippers right down the middle. I screamed and ran into the kitchen after the first swipe. I was wrong about which blade I had put on and Vaughn had a buzzed stripe down the middle of his head. When Matt and I looked at the clippers, sure enough it did say 3 but it said 3mm #1 . . . doh!!!
What I didn't know is that Matt has been using the clippers to trim his goatee so he left the #1 blade on and because I figured the blade was right I went ahead when I saw a 3 instead of making sure it was the #3 not 3mm.
In typical Jamieson style when things go wrong we make the best of it. We all had a really good time cutting Vaughn's hair in funny way's until it was all done. I was laughing so hard I was crying at one point. Which led Greta to say, "Mommy cry? Are you ok Mommy?" I feel terrible that I did this to Vaughn, especially since the weather is going to be -30 this week and he could have used the extra warmth. But I know it will grow back and I'm pretty sure I'll never do this again. And of course he is handsome no matter what his hair looks like!
