Gus Got his hair cut today. Tomorrow is Picture day at school. I love taking him to Milford's to get his hair cut. It's like a right of passage for boys in Nacogdoches. Gene (the owner) cut his hair today and I'm pretty sure he's been cutting hair the same way for around 50 years. (or longer) There is no talking really.. just every now and then he tickled Gus in the ribs with his finger or with the air gun. There's no wiggling in the chairs, there's no crying or fussing, there's no mom's in the barbers face's.... it's just little boys (and some men) getting their hair cut. It's magical. At the end, you hop out of the chair and he hands you a bucket full of suckers, you pick out the color you want, pay him his money and you leave. Daddy got his hair cut at Milford's and Gene cut his too. He said that the texture of their hair is different but shape of their heads are same. That's pretty cool..... I'm pretty sure you only get treatment like that at a place like Milford's.
Another little tidbit about our week.... Gus joined cub scouts this week. He is so excited! Mainly about the car he gets to build and about camping. I can't say that I'm super excited about our camping trip at the end of this month, but I won't tell Gus that!
It'll be Gus' first time to camp and mine too!! Any suggestions to a first-time camper????
