It is not easy to be a mommy. Mommy is a milk machine, a pacifier, a cook, a cleaner, a driver, a teacher etc...with the latest addition of being a barber.
The story begins when little Cedric's hair was growing longer. So did daddy mommy's anxiety level.
You see, few months ago daddy excitedly did a haircut for the boy, which turned out to be a moon-craters-creation disaster...! It ended with the poor Cedric being shaved botak.
After that traumatizing mishap, daddy was very phobia of scissors and refused to do Cedric's hair anymore. So this time, he suggested why not we get "professional" help to make sure Cedric get a really nice haircut.
Off we went to a Indian barber shop located at Tesco Setia Alam. I was praying that the barber would do a terrific job in giving Cedric the most handsome haircut in the world, as there are always some kids queuing n the shop waiting for a hairdo. So I assume, high traffic = highly skilled...

Cedric was all happy and cheerful to be seated on the barber chair. In my heart, I was hopeful, maybe there's hope to a nice haircut for Cedric after all.
Who knows, in a split second, disaster again! The minute the ah neh turned on the electric trimmer, the sound of the machine scared the pants off the poor little boy. Cedric started crying and struggling. I tried to hold the boy's head so that the barber can do his job properly, but that only invited more struggling and screaming. And the worse part was, the trimmer accidentally created 2 uneven patches on the hair above the ears due to the struggling.
Then the ah neh said: "Macam ini tak boleh potong handsome lah. Kita kasih botak senang."
The minute I heard BOTAK, immediately I grabbed my son and ran away. No more botak please!
Out of desperation, mommy bravely took up the challenge to do the boy's hair.
Firstly, we prepared some of Cedric's favorite snacks. Then put the boy on his high chair with his snacks. Then....in super lightning speed, snip, snip, snip, here and there, everywhere...Voila! Amazingly we were done before the boy made noise.
The end result...not too bad I would say. **Proud**
