Today my son threw an EPIC tantrum. It came out of no where and in a situation that made no sense. I was taken off guard. 46 pounds of no way am I getting my haircut. I wasn't prepared. And I could feel them all looking, judging and I tried all my best tricks and I lost. I couldn't make him comply. I was angry and embarrassed I have never felt that way before. I told him I was disappointed. We left the salon. And then I couldn't speak to him. 20 minutes of silence. Which was exactly what I needed to regroup, forgive, plan and fall in love again.
We finished grocery shopping and then I took him right back to the salon, had him apologize to the girl who cuts his hair and sat with him through the haircut.
When it comes right down to it, I have to remember that it really doesn't matter what the judging eyes think, it is MOST important that I help shape my little guy into a wonderful human being.
