If you think cutting a toddler's hair would be difficult, take how hard you think would be and multiply by about 100. And that's about how hard it actually is. Last time we got Carter's haircut professionally, we ended up in the ER (not because of the haircut, though). This time, I decided to cut it myself.
It's not the worst haircut I've ever given (as my Barbies would attest), but it's also not the best. In fairness to myself, this picture wasn't meant to be a haircut shot, so the hair is a bit mussed up, but you can still see the slightly severe haircut that I gave Carter. I guess next time we'll be going back to the professionals.

You should remember as a mother that bad haircuts can haunt you forever. (Remember your second grade school picture?)Try to avoid photos until it grows out, so there's no evidence. (Of course he looks beautiful as ever to me though.)
I agree with Mama Helen--it would be hard to mar the cuteness of Carter. Plus, it's a fine haircut, in any case!
That's why the barbers get the big bucks.......it's hard to mess up little boys anyway.
A secret I learned from my mom for cutting straight lines is to use scotch tape to keep the hair in place while you cut. My home-cut bangs were the best!
