I'm just squirting water on her hair, and it's a little cold. Yes, she does have a sucker. It was the only thing that kept Jack still for trims when he was a baby, so I tried it with her too. Worked like a charm. (Oh, stop- she really only gets a few licks.) She just got a tiny trim across the back and a few stray hairs on the sides. I'm resisting cutting her bangs. I want them to grow out to the length of her hair, but she REALLY hates the clips that keep them out of her eyes.

The expression on his face is caused by the fact that I made him tear his eyes away from the Tom and Jerry he's watching. Watching a cartoon is his bribe and he'll sit pretty still for awhile if I let him zone out to some old-style cartoon. Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear, Pink Panther- he loves them all. I have to admit I'd rather he watch those cartoons than the new ones because, ahem, I like them too.

Brian got his hair cut as well, but I thought he might not appreciate a picture of himself shirtless in a plastic smock posted on the internet! Poor thing just never gets any "airtime."
