-Sherlock refused to use a stroller when Ian was a baby. He said they were crowded and heavy and unnecessary when he could much more simply carry His son. Mrs. Hudson kept one for when she'd need to take him out.
-She also kept pacifiers for him without Sherlock and John knowing.
-John made Sherlock take Ian to swim lessons when he was young. Sherlock agreed only because it was an indoor pool, but once summer arrived Ian wanted to go to an outdoor pool. Sherlock took him but he was dressed as his usual self, so Ian borrowed another kid's water gun and soaked Sherlock with it.
-Ian was afraid of monsters under his bed for exactly two and a half months. John got tired of him sleeping in their bed so him and Ian went through many tasks one night to slay all the monsters.
-When Ian was six, his teacher asked him what his dads do for a living, and he said, "They're superheroes!"
-Mycroft babysat once. No. Just. No.
-One evening, John arrived home to find Sherlock sitting at the kitchen table staring at Ian who was sitting ON the kitchen table. Ian was pleading for Sherlock to let him go, but Sherlock had seen on the news that kids were going missing and was memorizing every single one of Ian's features. John said, "That's why we keep up to date photos, and either way he's not going to be abducted, is he?" Sherlock let Ian go but did not go anywhere without him for three months.
-Ian made a family tree for school when he was six. He made the branches from his dads to him, his dads were connected to Mycroft and Harry, Greg Lestrade was connected to Sherlock and Mrs. Hudson was connected to John.
-Ian used to make Sherlock play games with him. Ian was four and while playing Candy Land, he would jump ahead spaces and generally not play right. When he reached the end he'd exclaim, "I won!", then he and Sherlock would argue about how he did/didn't win, finally Ian got fed up and threw the board across the room and stormed upstairs.
-One afternoon when John picked Ian up from school, Ian claimed he was now a ninja and kicked John in the shin so hard that John almost fell over.
-The only person Ian will never, ever, ever talk back to or be mean to is Mrs. Hudson. If Sherlock or John can't control him or get him to settle down, Mrs. Hudson will 'Just pop in for a check in,' and Ian will instantly settle down.
-Sherlock thought he was afraid of Mrs. Hudson.
-Ian got drunk for the first time when he was 16. John and Sherlock pretended like they didn't know the next morning and went about their usual loud, headpounding business. Ian was going to die and didn't do it again until he was much, much older.
-Ian started playing football when he was 9. John was thrilled and loved going to his matches, but Sherlock was not excited and hated going.
-Once, when Ian was about 17 months old, Sherlock tried to surprise John by bathing Ian before he got home. He got Ian in the sink, but Ian wouldn't sit, and after a minute or two of Sherlock not really exactly watching, Ian started laughing and when Sherlock looked at Ian he realized Ian was peeing on him.
-Sherlock doesn't mind the pee or the poo or the spit up, what he absolutely could not stomach was nose boogers. That could make him gag.
*Thank you for reading! Sorry for taking so long to update.
*The bit about Ian peeing on Sherlock happened the other day. My 18 month old nephew peed on my mom. It. Was. Hilarious.
