While kiddo was doing his own things with #LEGO, along with the other kids there, and occasionally asking me for help taking bricks apart, or finding a certain brick, I made a miniature #tableFootball stadium for a game of two versus two. It uses four sets of two LEGO Technic sticks joined together, with the torso of a minifig attached to the joint. Each figure can be rotated and moved horizontally enough to get the 'ball' (the head of a minifig) across the entire court.
Afterwards #BeardGrabber suggested swapping the minifigs out for red and purple ghost figures.#FiXatoBuilds #FiXatoCreative #foosball #parenting #dadsOfMastodon #parentsOfMastodon #kidposting

Visiting the local #library so #BeardGrabber can play with more #LEGO than I'd have space for at home. 😂

@atomicpoet I hope to see my daughter share a similar interest.

Why have I never before thought to make Vietnamese-style grilled pork at home?

A while ago I picked up a more modern book of fairy tales because I really didn't like the old fashioned values and role models the one I had before it described, since "girls should want to be princesses who serve their husbands" and "princesses needs to be married off to rich princes and not have any wishes of their own" aren't ideals I want to teach #BeardGrabber.
Today we read a take on Cinderella (Askepott), and I really liked it, and made me glad I replaced the horrible old-fashioned book with that more modern one!- no bad step-sisters; just a bit stuck up sisters
- a down to earth Askepott who likes to climb trees, ride horses backwards, and go out barefoot
- Askepott likes to spend time with the cook and staff
- Askepott (ash pot, since she liked to cook potatoes in hot ash) was suggested as a nickname by her sisters, perhaps mockingly, but she liked it and decided to adopt the name herself and make it her own, since she didn't like her birth name, Ella
- she faked being sick to not have to go to the ball
- fairy godmother was going to make her the usual Cinderella/Askepott ballroom outfit, but Askepott declined; said she had plenty of nice dresses but just didn't feel like going
- instead she suggested the fairy godmother would make outfits for the staff and send them on a night out in a pumpkin carriage!
- Askepott welcomes them back with food she made for them
- they end up throwing a party themselves
- prince charming eventually also arrives, and he likes the same mundane things as her, and doesn't want to dance
- The prince hates his name, so Askepott suggests he picks his own name, which he does: Leif Ole
- he is afraid, his father, the king, will make him dance and do boring things, so Askepott gets the fairy godmother to make them a hot air balloon and they run off together. 😂

#BeardGrabber is enjoying his birthday gifts 💚
especially the wooden train set he got from me and @Siiw seems to be a great hit :D
Having his party outside at a sort of camp place, together with a bunch of kids from his kindergarten and some neighbour kids, was a good idea. Plenty of space and playing opportunities for them to get rid of some energy after all the cakes, sausages and drinks, while also not having to worry about the noise levels. 😏😀

So today my son (almost 4) asked me how babies get out of the belly when they are born.
He got me a bit off guard because the question came out of nowhere.
The first thing that I came up with was "they come out from down there"
His response:
"Where? The butt? The ear?"I am curious, what would you answer?

#BeardGrabber went to a friend's birthday party for the first time, and it went very well. 💚
Good to see him have friends. :D -

It happened again, 5:25AM. Although a little different, today it was a karate kid style roundhouse kick to my head. It must have been because it felt like that.
Luckily the little karate warrior continued his rest. Me, not so much. -

This #MaySiXth #MSXDay I'm introducing almost-five-years-old #BeardGrabber to #MSX games again. He's probably the same age now as when my parents got our #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homecomputer, and now, probably about 35 years later, he gets to play on the very same machine, playing the same original copies as I got or bought during my childhood, which feels quite special. 💙
So far we've played some #BubbleBobble, #Brisk and now #PinballBlaster. His #joystick and #keyboard control isn't good yet, but he's still very much enjoying the experience! 💚I also have some videos of him playing, but I need some time to review the footage to make sure it doesn't show kiddo's face and such. :)

#BeardGrabber is absolutely fascinated by a video of #NileRed turning vinyl gloves and vanilla sugar into hot sauce through chemistry.
I guess an almost 5 year old likes seeing all the chemical reactions; the colour changing, the bubbling, the crystalisation, and distillation. As well as the different tools.My highschool chemistry knowledge definitely isn't what it used to be though. 😅

#BeardGrabber apparently likes playing #pinball games; especially the #ProPinball classic #BigRaceUSA was a hit. :D

My daughter was born with medical issues and had corrective heart surgery at less than 2 weeks old.
that is nothing compared to having to listen to her coughing while she's trying to sleep and not getting any rest. -

CW: budget art supplies recommendation
If you have a #Rusta shop nearby, you might want to see if they also have the Playbox of Sweden "maleveske" on offer for 69.90 NOK. Clas Ohlson has the same set in their permanent assortment, rebranded, but at 129.90 NOK usually, so almost double the cost.
While aimed at kids, I've personally found the oil pastels to be quite satisfying, and even the water colour paints where vibrant and a joy to play with. Of course I don't expect lightfastness and they don't list the pigments used, but so far my rainbow whirlpool painting is still brightening up one of our walls. :)
Unfortunately I can't check how my oil pastels drawing of aurora borealis over Tromsø is doing, as I accidentally left it at the in-laws and haven't seen it since, and my peacock feather in oil pastels is too recent anyway.
#BeardGrabber really enjoys using his box from time to time, so I picked up two more yesterday; one for me, and one to either restock his, or to use as a gift.

#BeardGrabber wanted to win more #TicTacToe games, so I told him he could also play against himself, so he could win every game. xD

#BeardGrabber took a photo of me the other day, all by himself, with @Siiw's phone. It's interesting to see the world from his perspective. :)
