I know

explodingcat is keeping a personal Ronan journal, but I occasionally have to write some of these things down myself.

Ronan talks in his sleep. He gets it from me, of course. One of my recent favorites . . . he was napping and pointed his arm straight up at the ceiling. "Trains. Sky. Fly like birds."

And he informed Tom one night that "opera eats shoes!"

He wanted to climb into the rhino enclosure at the Philly zoo this weekend. Tom reminded Ronan how upset he gets when Jericho knocks him over. He pointed out that rhinos are much bigger than poodles and would certainly knock him over when brushing against him. Ronan spent the next few minutes talking about it: "rhino poodle knock me down!"
