Nov 7 - There are many things where Suburban is the answer. There’s no school today because of elections and Ian was getting lonely. I’m writing up reports from the “way back” while he runs around Northside Park with other random kids.

Nov 8 - Confession: I don’t restrict my 8 year old’s access to the Internet on any of his devices.

Nov 16  - Ian did extra chores and pulled money out of his savings to fund his purchases at the book fair this week. He bought three relatively high dollar books that I would never care to read but it’s words on paper and he’s stoked about them so yay. 

I asked him if he spent all his money ($40). He said he had a few dollars left over but gave it all to another kid who only had $2 and couldn’t afford any books. 

I love my kid.

Nov 29 - “Sure, Mommy. I just gotta poop first.”
