The Adorable Crying of a Baby Getting a Haircut Our son got his first haircut today, and it was a very exciting day for all of us. But it turned out to be quite an emotional roller coaster for the both of us. Our infant’s eyes widened as we walked into the salon, taking in all the new sights and sounds. You could feel the energy in the room.

A few tears began trickling down his ruddy cheeks, however, as soon as the barber began cutting. We did our best to divert his attention away from his sadness by playing with him and making funny faces. And it did work, if only temporarily. A smile escaped between his snips, but tears quickly followed. While we were cutting his hair, we reassured him that everything would be fine by lavishing him with compliments and giving him lots of reassuring hugs.

And then, as the last hairs fell, a miracle occurred. Our brave infant seemed to be enjoying himself, cooing and giggling as if to say, “I’m a big boy now!” We were beaming with satisfaction and pleasure as we walked out of the salon.

Our son had successfully completed his first haircut, and we had been witnesses to a developmental milestone of sorts. If you’re a parent, know that these moments are priceless, even if they make you cry. They are the ones who will make the journey of parenthood extraordinary and fill your heart with love.
