I found a guide for a no tape, easy to unwrap wrapping tutorial to make Christmas a little more accessible, wish I just found it sooner
my baby sister, youngest of three, was born right when my parents were splitting up and has always lamented that
> she only has like three baby pictures
> does NOT have a baby book
So I found this vintage baby book from the year she’s born! I also have tripled the number of baby pictures she has to 6 by scouring my deceased gma’s old pictures.
Am I going to make a bunch of shit up? Absolutely. Am I probably going to have to copy those six pictures and/or use stock images to fill this thing up? More than likely.
But!! she is getting a baby book for Christmas!
I will probably also do sentimental things like asking parents and grandparents for their favorite baby J stories. Taking suggestions to make this as amazing as possible.
My middle sister gets nothing because she is the middle sister.
update: i am current bidding on a peter rabbit baby book for my middle sister. for some reason to me it is wildly important to me that these were published in the years they were born. i love the suggestion to put in recipes. i guess i’d better go through my pictures and find what i can of them????

Shape of a Dream, Me, White ink on paper, 2019
Life path unlocked. He’s a scientist now.
If your dad is telling you in great detail about something he’s passionate about, you’re going to be hooked even if you don’t understand a word.
So now I have to deliver a quiet lecture on the Standard Model every night. He loves lists of things, like all the streets home from daycare, or the train stations between here and Central, so he loves hearing the list of leptons and quarks and bosons.
Anyway, I made this poster for him, based on the CPEP ones we used to have at uni .
Alas I ran out of room for antimatter, colour charge and confinement, but hey, maybe there can be a second poster later.
It’s funny though — on the surface of it, it seems like it must be far too advanced for a 3yo. But when you think about it, quarks and leptons are no more or less real to him than, say, dinosaurs or planets, and he loves those too. And he recognises the letters on the particles.
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the kind and sweet things people are saying about this, thanks everyone ❤️
Addendum: he has really grasped onto the “everything is made of atoms” part of this, so tonight he listed just about every object he could think of and asked if it was made of atoms.
“And my bed?” Yes, and your bed. “And that wall?” Yep. “And the armchair?” Yes, the armchair too. … … “And… the book case?” Y—
“And my home?” Yep, the whole apartment block. “And your home? Oh wait, your home is my home.” Haha, it is. … … “But is it made of atoms?” Yep. “And… [best friend]’s home?” Yes, it is. And [other friend]’s home, and [third friend]’s home.
“Is [yet another friend]’s home?”
Update from the other night:
“Is my… is… [extremely long pause] is my atoms poster made up of atoms?” —Yes! Yes it is.
I have never heard such a contemplative silence. I think the next poster will have to be on the philosophy of referential language.
Update from this morning: after listing everything in sight (mummy? daddy? fridge? milk? cereal? table? etc.) he asks “is [baby sister] made up of atoms?”
yep!
*runs over to her on the floor* *puts face up real close to hers* “HI! YOU’RE MADE UP OF LOTS OF ATOMS! DID YOU KNOW?”
“HI! YOU’RE MADE UP OF LOTS OF ATOMS! DID YOU KNOW?”
Hi hello! When u get this u have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of you favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
1. My sense of humor is on point.
2. I love that I stop to smell flowers, admire trees, watch a squirrel. I’m very tuned into nature and it’s nice to stop what I’m doing and immerse myself when I can.
3. Creativity is in my bones and idk what I would do without it. It’s one of my favorite parts of myself.
4. Hand in hand with that is curiosity! And that ties back to 2 and 3 but it’s a core tenant in the way I live my life. Curiosity about experiences, other’s stories, the world around me, the creative process. It drives much of what I do.
5. My grit. I’m a soft person with a lot of grit.
🌼~BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you’re supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it's sweet to know someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out.~🌼
Thank you, lovely!!! <3 <3 <3
