Goodbye Fun Kuts!

They say that all good things must come to an end. Well, that has happened in our family this week. We went today to see our good friend Tess at Fun Kuts to have Josiah's monthly haircut. As we arrived, we noticed the following statement on the door, "Going Out Of Business." My mouth dropped to the floor & got a little misty-eyed. I was in complete shock. Many of you may not think that this is that big of a deal, but it is to our family. When Josiah began getting haircuts in TN, it was a major ordeal. It would take both Dustin & I going together to hold Josiah down screaming & crying. He was terrified. We did that 3 times & then just let his hair grow out until we moved to WA. Once we moved here, we found Fun Kuts. It has been a life saver. They have cool chairs for the kids to sit in while having their hair cut. Then, they put boxes of toys in their lap to play with. They also have a playroom for the kids to play in both before & after their haircut. They use quiet clippers that are a lot less scary to the children. So, needless to say, it is a wonderful place to take children.

This is a picture of the first time we took Josiah to Fun Kuts. Dustin went with me because we were expecting the usual fight during the haircut. We were shocked. He just sat down & played. So, we stood behind him the entire time just in case Tess needed us. She never did. He had a great time.

The 2nd time we went, I took Josiah by myself. He told me to sit in the waiting area & wait for him. This place was a dream compared to what we had been used to.

There were tons of chairs to chose from. The yellow car, the blue Lamborghini,

a horse or the blue speed boat. Once you get bigger, there are cool chairs for the older children as well.

This is a picture of Josiah getting into the yellow car for the last time. I thought it was funny that he began his journey in the yellow car & chose to end his journey in the yellow car.

Thank you Tess for such a wonderful transition into the world of haircuts...& for the lollipops that Josiah is thoroughly enjoying. Goodbye Fun Kuts!
