Little Tufts

her soft baby curls,
downy to the touch-
too short for pigtails,
not long for ponytails,
perfect for kudumis!

so off i go,

and find hair ties
to pretty my toddler
with fancy dos -
that sit atop her tiny head.

*****

You can find details of traditional kudumis here but the style for kids are little tufts sitting atop a child’s head, not the shaved variety. One more for Michelle's prompt for the first day this month.
