  3. My kid lost his tooth today and expects the tooth fairy tonight. I'm broke, literally get some of my disability money tomorrow. I'm looking for ideas for something to leave as a gift tonight #askmastadon #parentsofmastodon #transparents

  4. 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.

  6. CW: Bluey spoilers

    As someone who knows I will be moving in a few years and currently has a 3 yo, the latest episode of #Bluey absolutely wrecked me.

  7. #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. 😏😀

  9. My wife asked 'what is a Mastodon' and I was about to launch excitedly into an explanation about the #Fediverse but thought to ask first: where did she hear that?

    Turns out it's from Ralph's World's Cavemen! 😅

  11. Today I actually said to my 2yo, “When I was your age the slides were made of metal.”

    I’m one of those parents now. 🤦🏽‍♀️

  13. 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?

    Good to see him have friends. :D

  17. I just received a massage from my MIL in Hungarian, which I did not fully understand. My 3yo just translated it for me. So, I guess I don't need deepl any longer? 😄

  18. Spielzeug taucht immer an den unmöglichsten Stellen auf. Parents know... #parentsofmastodon

  19. My daughter and I just spent the last 10 minutes quizzing each other on the spellings of the names of the kids on her class’ Valentine's Day list.

    There are a lot of very different ways to spell very similar names.

    Is learning these something teachers go through each September that I have not heard about?

  21. Why does this thing always look like it’s part of a hostage situation? Put some wire in them to position them!!! #elfontheshelf #parentsofmastodon #elf

  22. Been trying to diversify my listening away from Spotify but I still generally use it every day while working. Despite this, my top song in #SpotifyWrapped is Auli'i Cravalho's "How Far I'll Go" from Moana.

    This does indeed tell you most of what you need to know about my life in 2022.

  24. Spent quite a bit of time during the last 2 days inventorying medals and updating their locations in Axiell. All I can see is numbers every time I close my eyes! However, I got some light relief when my son showed me his playmobil set up of the Romans invading Britain (he's doing the Romans at school) Need to get him over to #Trimontium ! The ominous Tyrannosaurus Rex in the background made me chuckle #RomanScotland #cataloguing #museum #parentsofmastodon

  25. Hey, as soon-to-be of a , one of the ways my partner learns a lot about is from various social media she follows (IG shorts/reels, etc.).
    I'm looking to close my gal a bit via equivalent methods here on Mastodon and/or the fediverse...
    Any recommendations, ?

  26. 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.

  27. CW: (Re-)Introduction

    Started an alt for @FiXato here on toot.cat to see if #Glitchsoc is a closer match to what I want out of a #SocialMediaPlatform, feature-wise.
    So, it's time for a re-introduction:

    Who am I?

    -=-
    I'm FiXato, a stay-at-home father of a two-year-old I often refer to as #BeardGrabber.
    While I was born in the Netherlands, I've been living in northern Norway for quite some time now.

    What do I do?

    -=-
    In day-to-day life I take care of our son while the missus is at work, and when I have some spare time and headspace, I like to tinker on my various coding projects.

    Aside from that, I like to play some mobile Android games such as #PokémonGO, #Ingress and #MarioKartTour.
