I got the idea to turn my coffee table into a carpark play table for Phineas. It was a lot more complicated than I thought, took all Sunday, I have heat rash from being in the sun all day but it was worth it. He loves it already. We're planning to put some more detail in over the next few weekends, like a park and some buildings but the bulk of the work is done.

Baby Book

 Something that has always really bugged me is that Phineas doesn't have a baby book.  I never wanted a standard one - though I probably should've just sucked it up and got one. You can get inclusive ones for same-sex parents - but I wanted to do it my way, with more photos and pages I can put poetry I've written for him. 

I started one - two actually - but the cover never quite worked out and they both look awful now. I'm not sure why I've not had this problem before but for some reason both the drawings on the cover directly and the paper version I attached to the cover both got washed out. I protected them but it just didn't work and now they look awful.

And with everything that's gone on over the past year, it wasn't a priority or something that really motivated me. It just bugged me.

But now things have calmed down, and I've been paid, I'm going to try again. 

I've got a smaller scrapbook 8x8 instead of the A4, and got out the all the bits I was using for the old one - plus the first attempts. I have some washi tape though I've never used it before - it was free though - and some rainbow gradient craft paper and I'm going for it.

Right now, I got all the bits out.

Here goes nothing.

Abercon

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.
