-When Ian was 16, he thought John was cheating Sherlock. He'd stop John from leaving the flat until finally John asked why. When Ian told him, John promises that that was absurd and that he'd never do that to Sherlock or to him.
-All his life, Ian claimed he wanted to go to Oxford or Cambridge, until he was 15 and informed Sherlock and John that he wanted to go to Duke Medical in America.
-No matter what age he was turning, Ian would always jump on his dads' bed at 6 am on his birthday.
-Sometimes when Ian would cry at night, he'd cry, "Daaaaaad!" from his bed. Sherlock would get up to get him and when he got there Ian would cry more and pout and say, "Dad!" and point at the door. This was John's cue to get out of bed to get the baby.
-Ian would get into the unfortunate mood of not wanting to eat, too, and he'd say, "I'll eat when Dad eats." and John would have to bed and plead both of them to eat.
-Ian questioned why he didn't have a mom only one time. It was because he began school and thought it was weird that other kids had a mom.
-Some mornings Sherlock would get a call while trying to give baby Ian breakfast. It was funny for Lestrade or whoever to hear Sherlock say, "Thank you, son." every few minutes because as Sherlock paced in front of the high chair, Ian would feed him cereal.
-Ian would watch cartoons and jump on the couch while Sherlock would sit and try to think. To mess him up, Ian would jump harder and sing to songs louder, until Sherlock would silently get up and go to his and John's room. Then Ian would follow him in there as Sherlock would silently leave again. Then Ian would follow him back to the living room, and, well, the cycle would go all day until John got home and made Ian let Sherlock have some alone time.
-Sometimes Ian would go to work with John if Mrs. Hudson was busy and Sherlock was on a case. Ian would like to sit in John's chair and twirl until John's chair would break.
-John has stepped on more Legos than he can count.
-To prove a point, Sherlock once swallowed a a Lego.
-When Ian was about a year and a half, Sherlock was changing him one morning and Ian started peeing on Sherlock. Sherlock momentarily wasnt watching and didn't look until Ian started laughing. Sherlock looked down at his chest, sighed, and stood still until Ian finished peeing.
-Ian didn't like to talk to John for a long time. John would sit him on the kitchen table and hold two breakfast meals up for him to choose. Sometimes Ian would take one and throw it onto the floor and pout.
-John let Ian keep his silence because John was more patient with Ian than he's ever been with Sherlock.
-Sherlock and John would let Harry and Clara keep Ian for a day every once in a while. One day when Ian was about four, Aunt Clara returned him with painted toe nails. John thought it was funny and cleaned them off after Ian protested. "Aren't they pretty, Daddy? Look at the colors!" Ian said. Sherlock asked Clara why she painted his toes and Clara said he wanted her to.
-Sherlock let Ian paint on their bed until he spilled bright red paint all over the comforter. It was actually John that told him no more.
*Sorry it's been so long! So uhm, I've decided to do between 15-20 each update so that I can keep it going for a while. Also, if you haven't yet check out Short Stories of Parenthood. I'm going to do more of those and also try to take some of these paragraphs and make them into the short stories to explain more. If you want to see any of these paragraphs made into short stories, please tell me which ones. I'd LOVE that! Thank you for reading
