Speechless and Heartbroken

Today dealt me one of my biggest mommying devastations to date (aside from hospital emergency room visits, of course!)

I’ve always adored Sugarplum’s hair.  And not just because she’s my only baby who actually had hair,

but because she has curls.  Amazing, beautiful, wonderful, adorable curls.  My hair is pretty close to stick straight (I can sometimes wrangle some decent waves out of it but not usually very successfully) and so I’ve always delighted in her precious little locks.

She’s been asking me for awhile when we were going to get our hair cut again and I keep telling her when we have time.  Well, today…

You can probably guess…

She took matters into her own hands and truthfully, I am heartbroken.  I don’t even know what to say to her about it other than “your curls!  your beautiful curls are never coming back!”

UPDATE:  I fixed her hair myself, to see the “new do” and read my tips for an easier home-fix, read “Fixing a Haircut Hack”
