Going for a haircut has always been a torture for Aqil. To him...it is like 'killing' him. He would be screaming & wailing & kicking & struggling.
We can't go to the hairdressers or those hair boutiques for kiddoz coz they are scared to cut his hair as he refused to sit on the chair.
The only places that are willing to just shave off his hair are the barbers. The moment we approached the barbers', Aqil would already started crying and wanna run away. Ayah had to grab hold of him and sat with him throughout the 'torturous' haircut.
And believe it or not, Aqil would be kicking & struggling throughout the process. I really salutes the barbers who had cut (shaved actually) Aqil's hair for the last 5 yrs! For a particular haircut, we'd had apologized for than thrice to the barber coz Aqil had kicked him. There were cases where his Crocs even flew off!
For 5 yrs, we are immuned to the stares of people whenever Aqil decided to be cranky in public.
And TODAY! He was due for a haircut again...too long...so we'd braced ourselves as per norm. But we were surprised by that lil sweetheart of ours when he didn't show any sign of protest . In fact, he willingly climbed up the chair and sat there quietly for his haircut! We were like...awed! Our jaws dropped!
Alhamdullilah...alhamdullilah...alhamdullilah! After 5 yrs...he is finally having a proper haircut!
The feeling we felt...or personally I felt was beyond words! It's like Aqil has been announced as the top student for PSLE! Hahaha!
Ya Allah! Thank you Allah! ~ We know you'll overcome everything in time to come sweetheart! ❤
