I can not believe this! If I didn’t see this with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it. If I didn’t take a picture I really do not think anyone else would believe me. I quickly ran to get the camera. CLICK! I caught Tristan in the bathroom cutting his own hair with Brian’s electric hair clippers!!! For months, this is the same child who would resist us simply brushing his hair. I began using sensory brushes to try and help. I hate to say this, but we didn’t really have a good plan. Brian and I were well aware of the fact that Tristan’s hair would continue to grow. Therefore, this was one problem I could not just ignore! I must have been stressing over this because I had a dream that I cut his hair. Thankfully I had some real life angels descend upon him at school to complete this task. When I picked him up from school he was NOT happy about this activity. So why he would repeat this one on his own is mind boggling and of course funny. If you look closely there is a little bit of hair gone. I am not worried… it will grow back. Another healthy dose of laughter from our home!
