Bad experience for baby hair cut?

Recently, I brought Rayner (my 10 mths old son) to do his hair cut. The appointment is set at 10.30am in the morning as I wanted to do it before he had his bath.

Before go to the hair cut, Rayner has his milk and I thought it will be good as I don't have to worry if there is a long wait or half way through his haircut; he get hungry. However, Rayner like others baby, cry when the hair dresser trying to cut his hair. No matter how hard we try to distract him by showing him toys or play music, it did not make him stop crying. As a result, he throw out all the milk he drunk and both of us was in a mess. We have no choice but to stop half way and bring him back home to shower and cleanup. The hairdresser has advise us not to feed him before he come, at least when he cry; he will not easily throw out.

2 hours later, we bring Rayner back to finish his hair cut. This time, no matter how long he cried, he did not throw out anything. What a relieved to us. We learn our lesson from this bad experience.

理发惊魂记

不久前，我带刚满十个月大的禹衔去修剪头发。我把修剪头发的时间订在早上十点半以便禹衔可以在过后洗澡。

为了不让禹衔修剪头发时饿肚子，我让禹衔在去理发院前先喝奶，却没想到此举大错特错。由于禹衔对陌生的环境生疏，也对握着剪发器材的理发师产生抗拒，他在理发师替他理发时，不停的嚎哭，不论我与我先生使出各种方法都无法让禹衔安静下来。禹衔不断的嚎哭，并开始咳嗽，紧接着作呕，并将之前所喝过的奶也全数吐出来。此举让我与我先生始料不及。迫不得已，我们只好中断剪发，急冲冲的把禹衔抱回家，将他大洗一翻。临走前，理发师提醒我们在来理发院前，不可以喂饱禹衔，否则同样情形还是会发生。

吸取了之前的教训，我们在过了两个钟头后，让禹衔空腹去继续理发。这次，无论禹衔哭多久，他也不再作呕了。谢天谢地。
