Mudd's Haircut and Momma's Regrets

Mudd has always been known for his beautiful curly blonde mop. It was pretty much a trademark. Notice the past tense. Big D said that the hair was always getting in Mudd's eyes....
This poor second child was given a "trim" by daddy of his bangs that made my precious boy look like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. It was BAD.
I tried to let Mudd grow into the mullet (business in the front, party in the rear!) but it just didn't seem fair. So, we decided to give him a real haircut. But, perhaps we got carried away and now we've got a marine on our hands.
I wish that I didn't regret the decision, but I SO do. How long does hair take to grow back anyway?
