Asleep in the Chair

Have you ever seen a kid sleep through a haircut? I asked that question and was told by the stylist "I've seen kids fall asleep in the chair while getting a haircut, but this is a first."

Kelly hasn't been taking his naps recently, so despite the fact that it was nap time, I decided to take him out for a haircut. Not two minutes down the road, Kelly was asleep in the car... I called Britt and she said, get his hair cut, then if he falls asleep afterwards, bring him home for a nap...

When we got to Sports Clips, there was no wait. So we went in and Kelly didn't wake up while I pulled him out of the car, removed his winter hat and coat, or even when the stylist proceeded to put the cape on, and put him on the booster seat. During all of this, his eyes never even cracked a smidge. So, we began. I held him in the seat and held his head up... We both thought the clippers near his ear, spray bottle in his hair, etc would certainly wake him up! (I had a lollipop ready because I figured he wouldn't be thrilled with what he woke up to).

He didn't wake up at all! The closest he came was when he rubbed his eye as some water from the spray bottle had dripped down his forehead. After his haircut, I put his coat & hat back on, got him in the car seat and drove him home to mama, where he never made a peep. We pulled him out of the car and out of his winter gear, and straight to bed where he proceeded to sleep for 2 more hours. I guess that's the trick to getting him to nap!
