Ian Fragments Day

♠ Yesterday at 6:54 AM, Ian said that he didn't want the sun to come up because it hurts his eyes and he loves the darkness.

♠ Ian wants to be a ghost for Halloween. We have yet to define these requirements more clearly, but I expect it will be a white sheet type of affair like the one Papa Bear wears in the Berenstain Bears.

♠ Favourite foods: pizza, yogurt, hamburger buns. Tolerated foods: vegetables, chicken tenders. Disliked foods: popcorn shrimp, salmon.

♠ Ian loves riding the yellow balance bike he inherited from Maia and asks us to watch him "drift", which really just means coasting in a big arc on our dead-end court.

♠ Current songs stuck in his head: This Land is Your Land, Life is a Highway, Country Roads.

♠ Recent read: a My Little Pony anthology (belonging to Maia) containing a spooky forest called "Everfree Forest".

♠ Favorite color: the rainbow "because I like all of the colors".

♠ We struggle to get Ian to use the bathroom without endless complaints because "peeing is not my favourite thing". He will hold it for hours.
