My son Axel recently had to change schools. He has been a little moody to say the least. He is at a stage in his life where he just wants to be like everybody else. It is hard when you are not only the new kid in class, but you are the only blonde. Not only is he the only blonde, but his hair is a glowing, extra terrestrial white. He is not quite ready to celebrate the fact that he is an individual and incredibly unique. Change is hard when you’re 8, but he is resilient, and he is adapting. I am so proud to be his mom and I am thoroughly encouraged by the fact that he is able to take a heroic leap into the unknown.
