Feb 2 - We picked out a snowboard and bindings for Ian to use for the coming years. We still need to get boots, but we’re making progress. I also got my skis and poles from our local shop and am pleased with how they have treated us.

Feb 2 - Ian made a new recipe for me in the air fryer last night that he found on TikTok. He liked it so much he made it again for breakfast.

Feb 9 - Ian and Mom both got haircuts over the weekend and Ian had his annual "well baby" visit to say "yep, that looks like a 12-year-old." We went to sushi afterward to celebrate.

Feb 13 - Air fryer 1/2 pound burger. Ian ate two of them tonight.

Feb 15 - Me, rubbing on Cash and singing a made up song: “Who’s the best dog? Cash is the best dog!”
Ian, indignantly: “What about Stella?!”
Me: “Who’s the best black dog? Cash is the best black dog!”

Feb 15 - Ian: “Doggie!”
Me: “Where??!”
Ian: “Oh. It was just a tree shaped like a Newfoundland.”
He comes by it honest.

Feb 16 - Ian has reunited with his buddy Alex and I'm delighted to see him again. I like that kid. He's not walking distance away anymore, but it's well worth the 10-minute drive to retrieve him.
