Checker Head

Today was wacky hair day at preschool. In the usual fashion of our family, we took things one level farther than intended. The idea behind crazy hair day is to style your hair in a crazy fashion, so of course my son decided that he needed to cut his in a crazy fashion. I, of course, agreed.
The plan was to make his head into a hair/not hair checker board. It turns out that this is quite hard to do. In hindsight, it would be pretty hard to draw a checker board accurately on a basketball. Trying to cut one into the hair of a five year old is more like trying to draw a checker board on a basketball while someone is dribbling it. I did not do a great job.
His haircut was well received though. Lots of compliments, lots of smiles, lots of shock by the preschool moms that someone would actually do that to their child. It was fun. Tonight we broke out the clippers again and turned it into a normal haircut. We had fun. He looks good. It was a success.
