  1. 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.

  2. #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. 😏😀

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

  4. That moment when you realise your #kidsDrawing skills suddenly went from drawing just squiggly strokes and spirals to recognisable #faces. 💜

    Love seeing you draw, increasingly-not-so-little-anymore #BeardGrabber!

  5. CW: parenting (+)

    Hearing your kid say "igjen" ("again") after wrestling with him, tossing him around on the sofa and tickling him. <3

    Unfortunately his stamina is greater than mine, so I switched over to letting him do 'sit-ups' while holding my hands and counting in Dutch, English and Norwegian. :)

    Huh, that's the second time #BeardGrabber's night ritual went about as perfect as it could be. <3

    No complaints while changing into his night clothes, brushing teeth went smoothly and he was even laughing and giggling while doing so, and he even wanted to go straight to his own bed, rather than drifting off in mine first!

    Let's hope this sticks!

  7. 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.

  8. #2yo #BeardGrabber has repurposed one of my miniature dimpled 'pint jug' shot glasses as a small glass for his apple juice. :)

    It looks really cute. :)

  9. CW: parenting, COVID

    #BeardGrabber is at his 2 year consultation visit.
    Unfortunately due to #COVID19 restrictions, only one of his parents could accompany him, so @Siiw is with him instead of both of us as usual...

    Don't really have much to worry about as AFAICT he's developing fine, yet I'm still too nervous to do anything useful...

  10. #BeardGrabber can name as well as point out #Gorgon and #Hades on my #mythology #tshirt from #Woot.
    #MissionAccomplished? 😏😅

    I'm actually surprised this #wootShirt, "A is for Atlas" by #ramyb is still available o_O
    That must be one of their longest standing shirts now, or do they no longer have a Reckoning to cull their selection of shirts?
