I always wear my hair up, because I have an awful habit of twirling and biting it when it’s clean and down. It’s a sensory thing.
Ro can’t stand it…
Ronan: MOM! Stop biting your hair!!!
Mama: Why Ro?
Ronan: Because it’s really bad for you, Mom!
This is the same child whom I thought might never even refer to me as “Mom”. Ever. I waited soooo long to hear even that, and when he actually started to call me Mom, I thought I would die of happy.
To hear him say something like this is so surreal. It makes me cry.
Pithy, and true.
