Love Thursday & the haircut

My middle child has been very scared of the barber, fondly called ‘barbarino’. Although the eldest has been going steadily for about a year, my almost 3 year old has only attempted once and chickened out!

A couple months ago, something changed…
mousehunter: are you going to get a haircut by barbarino?
almost 3 yr old: ammm, noooo
mousehunter: ok, I’ll just take your brother

Then, on their return home…
almost 3 yr old: how you get a lollipop?
4 year old: from barbarino! (lick, lick, lick)
almost 3 yr old: yeah? can I get a lollipop?
mousehunter: only if you get a haircut!

Yesterday:
mousehunter: daddy cut your hair?
almost 3 yr old: no, barbarino!
mousehunter: are you sure?
almost 3 yr old: yeah! I want a lollipop!

translation:
no… he cut my hair… with a brush… he put powder and brush my… he put powder in the brush… then he brush my hair… then I closed my eye… then he put a vacuum machine… I GET A LOLLIPOP!
