2Y1M 18W6D チョキチョキ Hair cut

10日程前アラタの前髪を切った。と言ってもこの世の終わりのように嫌がるので2回はさみを入れるのが精一杯。しかたなく、右は短くて左は元のままで放って置いた。

ＺＩＯＮ宮原店

には、キッズヘアサロンが併設されている。車のデザインの椅子に座って、アンパンマンのＤＶＤを見ている間に切ってもらえる仕組み。

これは喜ぶだろうと思ったのに、車の中に座らせると、速攻で髪を切られることを悟ったアラタ。泣きながら降りたがる。私が抱っこしている間に切ることになったが、泣き叫ぶから涙と鼻水と髪の毛で顔もぐしゃぐしゃ。必死に抵抗するから危ないし、親子でかぶれるという気の利いたケープも役に立たない。「毛だらけになってもいいですからとにかく切って下さい」と私。えびぞりになって「ダディー！！」と叫ぶアラタと、私と、美容師さんとの格闘。きれいな女性の美容師さんがバイキンマンの人形を持ってきて話し相手をしてくれた最後の数分だけ少し落ち着いた。なんでそんなにいやなのよ～。(写真はBeforeとAfter。前髪に注目。)

I cut Arata's front fringe 10 days ago. Well, he only let me do 2 attempts, which left the right side of his fringe shorter than the left. And I've left it just like that until now. We went to

a Kids hair salon Zion

today. They have seats like toy cars and while you are watching an Ampamman DVD, one of Arata's favourites characters, they cut your hair.

Neither car nor Ampamman worked on Arata. As soon as I put him in the 'car', Arata realised his hair was going to be cut and started to cry, trying to get down. We gave up the car and I held Arata while his hair was being cut. It wasn't easy to hold Arata as he was resisting really hard. His face was covered with hair and tear and snotty nose. We were wearing a cape which is designed to cover both mother and child but it didn't stay on us! It was really dangerous, Arata kept protecting his hair from the hairdresser.

It was a battle between the hairdresser and me vs Arata. I said to the hairdresser, "Please don't worry about the falling hair. Just cut it!" I tried to hold down Arata and he was screaming, "Daddy!!!!!!" Arata calmed down only the last couple of minutes after a good-looking female hairdresser came to play and talk with Baikinman doll.... Why do you hate hair cut so much, Arata??? (The photos are Arata's 'Before' and 'After'.)
