Mencap Ceredigion (a learning disability charity) ran a con in the arts centre in Aberystwyth on Saturday with a relaxed screening of Kiki's Delivery Service. So we decided to take Phineas for his first cinema trip.

The con was fun, they had some booths and I bought us all a pin. Phineas chose his own, it says I am enough. He also chose a black and green di. He was a little scared because there were more people there than he's used to but after a little while he was okay and wanted to go and find the person who had come as their fursona.

The screening of KiKi's Delivery Service was really good, we also got to see a Welsh made short called Cumulus which was really good. Both organisers of the con spoke a little, the creative director was convinced no one would come - she was dressed as KiKi.

Phineas was so well behaved. We got end seats in case he needed a break but he just sat and watched the whole thing. He wasn't heavy enough to keep his seat down so he sat on either of our laps, ate his snacks and watched the film. He chatted a little, pointed out cars and played with his car too.

He's only 2 years and 8 months, I think most people wait a little longer I think but it seemed like a good opportunity. He really enjoyed the film too, he likes Ponyo a lot, and Spirited Away. When he came home he started walking around with a broom pole we have in the house.

It was a really good day and now the sun is shining.
