We’ve been saying for several months now that Troy’s hair is getting out of control, and that we needed to get it cut. That prompted strenuous objections from certain parties, who proclaimed vociferously that we must wait until after his first birthday. So we waited.

Yesterday, however, we reached the breaking point. We couldn’t take it anymore, so we headed down to Jack n Jillybeans Salon in Roseville to get him a little trim.

Here’s the dirty hippie just prior to our departure:

It’s a pretty cool little place. Instead of traditional barber stools, they have fire engines, polices cars, and other things for the kids to sit in. Each station has a DVD player with Baby Einstein playing. And, of course, there are plenty of fun and shiny toys for the kids to play with.

The Dude did a great job. He only fussed a little at the beginning, but after that, he was a rock star.

And, we’re done:

No more dirty hippie!
