[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 320302, member: 4264"] :) We have our days, Matt and I. But they are now few and far between. Actually it isn't normall a bad day, just a bad moment in time. The ultimate best thing for me to see happening with him though ... two things actually: 1) He grew out his hair absurdly long in order to hide behind it, literally hide behind it. I hated it but let him do his thing. It went on for many years. I bit my tongue LOTS lol. He keeps cutting it. Shorter and shorter. Its now cut so he can SEE and be SEEN. Longer than a typical boy cut, but in keeping with the shaggy styles teen boys are into right now. It's like he's emerging from a cacoon lol. 2) His beautiful smile! I watched him go from a happy smiling kid with a impish grin and twinkling eyes, to a boy hiding behind that hair, rarely if ever smiling and when he would, the twinkle was just gone. He's sparkling again :) And laughter and happiness come naturally again. I can't wait for the coming years to see what all achieves and how much more personal growth is ahead of him. [/QUOTE]
