February 2
I guess I misplaced this since I didn't use it so long when Henry broke my arm. Haydn broke one of Mom's vases last night, and she called him a demon. She said he was a demon fire that would consume all it touched, and that was why she named him Haydn. She was drunk. I told her not to talk about him like that, and she hit me. Haydn asked me why she hated him. I said she was just confused.
Today I had to stay home from school because the daycare was closed, so I looked for Haydn's birth certificate. He said he didn't want to be demon fire, he wanted a new name. So I found it, and his middle name is Liota. I'm going to look it up in the library tomorrow and see if it means anything better.
