Actually, they're 3 boys! Don't worry, we get that a lot!! He wants to have long dreadlocks like his Mom, and we've decided to let him go for it. Been a good lesson in sticking up for yourself, and taking compliments - he either gets teased for his hair, or gets gushing compliments. Not much in between! Should be better once he can pull it all back in a ponytail. I'm biased but...he's 10, homeschooled, an incredible artist, polite, respectful, intelligent, and named Lysander. Probably be more of a girl magnet than his Dad ever was! LOL!!
