Tears of heartbreak

I've been so busy with finals that I've neglected the fact that my boys have moppy hair. Today I saw a really neat toy at Toys R' Us though and it was on sale and I figured I would take them and get that and then go get their haircuts at the place we take them too. Well the toy was sold out and the haircut place was closed. I think it was more than closed though, it wasn't empty, but I'm pretty sure it closed down. It was in an obscure place, very hard to find - impossible if you use GPS surprisingly, so I can't say it's a total shock. This place was cool, they had a firetruck that you could lay on the get your hair washed, 4 vehicles to sit in - each with personal TV, and a toddler play area that you could climb in and slide down. My oldest has only ever sat in the firetruck seat, but today he talked about wanting to ride in the airplane, I was really looking forward to it. But then they were closed so we had to go all the way back home, quite a ways, and on the way home my new little 3 year old said so quietly, "I want a haircut." I looked at him in the rearview and he had these watery eyes and a sad little tear started to come out, his first heartbreak... I don't think I can handle another one.
