Liam gets a haircut

We finally threw in the towel with Liam's nits (don't worry, he didn't keep them all to himself, he shared some with me too). After getting them first in Vietnam we've tried two different types of the special shampoo and have constantly been using the nit comb. They just weren't having it but were insisting on staying on his lovely shiny long locks. Liam thinks they're some kind of super-nit and was quite worried about bringing alien species into NZ.

In an attempt to give them far less living space, Liam finally reluctantly agreed to a hair cut. So we went to Warehouse this afternoon ('where everyone gets a bargain') and bought a set of hair clippers. I did it quickly before he changed his mind. He's mourning the loss of his hair but the little buggers have gone. Victory! And he looks super handsome.

I have seriously considered going for the same solution. But have instead opted for one last treatment with the special shampoo. And I supplemented that with a new remedy - mayonnaise. I think it might have worked but I did smell odd (okay, more than usual) for a few hours.
