Just wanted to mention that Ellen says that she thinks Sam is one of the best kids she has ever had that sits still during his/her haircut. Quite an accomplishment since it takes almost half an hour to get all his hair trimmed!
After Sammy's haircut, he got a lollipop and as Jasper longingly looked at the jar, hoping to be offered one, "Mean Mommy" said "No, Jasper, you have to get your haircut to get a lollipop." Ellen asked, "Do you want your haircut Jasper?" And Jasp answered, "No". Knowing how much Jasp loves sweets, I now know how much more he dislikes haircuts. Yikes!
