The Adventures of Baby Arthur

by Lincoln

Personally, I like the mad scientist look! But we did eventually need to take Arthur for a haircut and we did so last week. This haircut was not Arthur's first. I bravely attempted to give Arthur his first haircut myself, which quickly turned into fiasco. Not only was I extremely nervous about accidental impalement, my hands were not quick enough, steady enough or straight enough for a delicate little head that wouldn't keep still! Within minutes, the barber's apron was on the floor, baby hair was all over the place and what we ended up with was a head that resembled a poorly mowed lawn. My only saving grace is that we don't have any pictures that accurately depict the disaster!


This time, Liz took Arthur to a professional - Doodle Doo's Children's Hair Salon in the West Village.



They know what they're doing at Doodle Doo's. That's a wooden boat that Arthur is sitting in! Blowing bubbles and books for fun and a TV to mesmerize him enough to keep him still. Genius!! Add a swift professional pair of hands and you end up with a handsome haircut for a handsome little boy! Doodle Doo's also features a store where you could buy toys, books or other children's paraphernalia.


Cost: $35.


Now I've never spent $35 on a haircut in my entire life, but, at least Arthur looks good! I'm guessing we'll be taking him back for his next cut too.
