DAY 9-He DID it!-27 December, Part 1

We were despairing that Kel would ever allow us to get his hair cut! We knew we wanted it to happen in Paris to make it more memorable, but we had already failed in our attempt to have it happen in Disneyland Paris. We decided to give it one more shot. Paris Vogue had published an online article in 2011 featuring the five best children's salons in Paris. We picked the one that looked the most fun, gave the address to the taxi driver and off we went. The salon was Simon, and it was BUSY!!

Kel got an amazing stylist named Phillipe who went out of his way to allay his fears and keep him entertained. I was surprised how much effort he was willing to invest in keeping Kel happy and how patient he was with him.  He told Kel the cape was batman's cape! Steven and I exhausted ourselves trying to keep his attention off the scissors though! It was touch and go throughout the entire cut, with us in turns reassuring him, giving him skittles and making jokes! Whew!! At the end of the session though, Kel got his first cut at a Parisienne Salon! What a memory!
