Handful of Hurt

When my wife is holding Troy on her chest with his head resting on her shoulder, he likes to reach his right arm around her neck. It was cute at first, because he was hugging and snuggling with her. But then he entered into the grasping stage where he would grab anything that comes into contact with his hand. My wife has these small little curly hairs along the bottom of her hairline that she calls her baby curls, because she’s had them since she was a baby. Well Troy got a hold of them one day and grabbed on. When he moved he took the hair with him. Apparently it’s very painful to have a baby rip your hair out, and now he does it every time she holds him. She complains that he’s leaving a bald spot in her hair.

I have short hair and zero curls, so all he does is grab onto my shirt with both hands. And then I give him the ride of his life!
