Monday was a holiday for XY because of Family Day the day before. I brought the kids to the salon for a haircut. When we were at home, CE said he didn't want a haircut. So I persuaded him with lollipop as reward.
They had their hair cut at the same time. CE sat in the toy car while XY on an ordinary chair next to him. I stood in between them as a "facilitator", constantly reminding them to stay still, like a broken record. :p At times, I've to hold CE's face to keep him still.
Overall, I'd say they behaved really well. CE was fidgeting a little and kept looking sideways at jie jie. Well, you can't expect a 3 year-old to stay as still as a statue, right? So I shouldn't be complaining. XY, as usual, was very cooperative coz she "wants to look pretty". ;-) But I offered her fries as reward anyway.
After the haircut, we went to McDonald's (just next door) to have french fries. Actually I was craving for that too. Haven't had them for a very long time already. Both of them enjoyed their fries dipped in tomato sauce.
As promised, they had their lollipops after lunch. This is CE's second lollipop. He hardly gets the chance to eat it. And he's probably thinking "haircut = lollipop" as his first lolly was after a haircut too. :D
And then they started to monkey around.

Pretty girl and handsome boy! and yes I totally agree that we can hardly get the toddler to sit still for hair cut... that applies to me when I am young... now being a mother, I wonder how should I handle my little Princess in time to come...
i used to bribe my son with junk food during haircuts. what to do? he sure cry and cry and cry!
using lollipops is a great way to get them to behave. i have to learnd from you and do the same. hehe.
Both of them look so fresh after the haircut. :) At least CE sat there for the haircut..that's good enough and no crying too. Good boy. They look so contented with their lollipops..hehe.
