Ed

So, Ed has taken up guitar playing. If it didn't take an age and a half to download a video to here, I would post one. I'll try doing so later. He's mastered the beginning of Welcome to the Jungle.

Also, we've allowed Ed to get his hair cut in a pseudo-Mohawk. I want everyone to know this so they're not shocked when they next see him. He has been having a lot of issues with anxiety and having difficulty at school with kids bullying him and such, and, as silly as it may seem, the new haircut has given him a real boost in confidence. I realize what other parents probably think when they see my kid with this haircut now, but what matters is that it is making Ed feel better about himself. He's still a good kid. If he weren't, he wouldn't have gotten the privilege of the haircut.

I suppose that as your best and only friend, I am obligated to respond to your blog-ness. I am both proud and surprisingly frightened by your huge step into this open-door policy. As for the mohawk...
