HAIRCUT!!!

Ok...the funniest part of the whole weekend involved this boy and a haircut!! Bubba was going to get his hair cut...soooo I begged him to take Chase and just TRY to get his hair cut...I told him it probably would be a huge horrible deal, but just try! I told Chase that Bubba wanted to take him to get cookies...he hopped in the car, went to the haircut place, sat in Bubba's lap and didn't cry ONE TEAR!!!
Even got a compliment from the girl cutting his hair!!!!!!! He also got cookies as promised and was totally unfazed by the whole event!!!
WHO WAS THAT KID??
Soooo I told my dad that he has now been given the job of getting Chase's haircut and we will be visiting a lot more now!! hee hee
