Last summer when we used the Landeez Chair with Ben at the beach, we needed to purchase a small belt to keep him in place. We bought it at a small hardware store for $3 - fastener and all.
A few weeks ago when I took Ben for a haircut, I remembered the belt was still in the trunk. If you have seen the photos of Ben getting a haircut, you know he can hang upside down, turning a regular visit to Supercuts into an Olympic event for me. Ben would leave with a new haircut and I'd have sore muscles and a bad back, and possibly a few scissor stabbings.
This time, we used the belt around his waist and it was just enough restraint to keep Ben in line. He realized about 1/3 of the way into it that he was not going to get out of the situation so he sat back and watched Bob the Builder on the small DVD I brought.
Not that I am counting, but one point for me.

Try giving him sips of his favorite milkshake between snips. It does work for some. Joan

ReplyDeleteHi Joan - Smoothie is a great idea because Ben&Jerry's is next door and I could get it there! Thanks for the tip. And I knew who you were :)
