At the Kilpatrick Barber Shop


The day arrived to cut Noah's hair again so we set up Il Parrucchiere Kilpatrick in the hallway. Not too long before I had gone to get a hair cut and Noah came and watched for a while. This gave him some good context for our set-up at the house. I was the hair dresser and Noah had to come and knock on my door and then ask for a haircut. He also had to pay me with some coins. He was super into it and read a book with Jeff about cutting hair while I went to town with the scissors and the clippers.

After Noah's haircut, he decided that it was his turn to play "Parrucchiere" and next thing you know Dodo Baby was knocking on the door and giving Noah money! Then he combed her bald head before breaking out the clippers (they weren't plugged in so he had to make the buzzing sound himself). He cut her non-existent hair all the while talking to her like a hair stylist: "Okay Dodo Baby, girati per favore" (turn around please) "Ti piace il taglio?" (Do you like the haircut?) He played this game for hours.
