My 14 month old daughter's walking around the house with a slice of lime I cut for her stuffed in her gob. She's alternating between scrunching up her face in perplexed confusion and gleefully eating more.
She's as equally keen on raw onion, (soft) chillies and garlic, all of which and more I've tested on her, to her mother's dismay.
*wipes tear
so proud.

- Yup, all spicy at the beginning and they freak out at spicy later, mac n cheese for daysBonSeff
- Same age my kid was into weird flavors and spice. But after two they get picky. A bit disappointing. I hope it sticks with her!monospaced
- Humph. If she starts getting fussy, I'll just have to start getting the belt out... .Nairn
- "Regular beatings will continue until morale improves." That's what my grandparents always joked.monospaced

This past month in quarantine has been some amazing bonding time with my family. My little girl has taken to woodworking. She helped build a workshop and even created her own little table to give to Grandma as a gift. Work from home is AMAZING!

My son will be 3 in June. He is ADDICTED to all things cars, super possessive of all his toy cars, wants to watch nothing but car videos on YouTube. He always says "I want to watch baby cars!" it's so cute.
I'm indifferent to cars for the most part, I like Formula 1 and lots of classic cars, but I'm already preparing myself for his childhood being all about cars, and my life being all about the ensuing co-learning of all things trucks, cars, wheels, etc.

- Ah, cool! My son is more into animated videos, and I can't believe how many there are out there. It's insane.mg33
- i don't have children myself, but i am an "uncle" to many. I've bought bikes, helmets, even beginner motorcycles for friend's kids. Children racing is awesome!imbecile
- Sounds familiar. My boy gravitated towards driving ANYTHING. He now races karts. It's so much fun. We bike together too.aslip
- My son is obsessed with cars. He'll be 2 1/2 this June. His Matchbox collection is pretty ace right now :)monospaced

a little motivated by the post of nocomply (really nice!) I might tell you I find myself in a difficult situation to evaluate and not to mention to modify, with a son of almost 2 years of age who is in the care of his young grandparents (my in-laws), Every day from 9am to 6pm, with a closed kindergarten, and a very difficult scenario at his parents' house: both with management positions, working from home, unable to be with him during all those hours. The weird part is that it’s almost the same day-to-day that when we were working on-site, but it really feels weirder while staying at home, thinking “we should be able to have him here”. Just an open hearted thought here, since I perceive I might not be the only dad coping with these feelings rn.
- It's a long time to be away from your boy, but you're very lucky to have the help! We've got our 2.5 year old and our 5 year old home with us 24/7...nocomply
- My wife and I are trying to run our business as usual while doing full-time child care, and basically, we can't. It's just not possible.nocomply
- It's difficult and frustrating, but I try to look on the bright side of those daily bike rides when I can.nocomply

There is a small silver lining to all this doom and gloom and quarantine. I know a lot of us are spending a lot more time than anticipated with our kids.
Yesterday I rode bikes with my older son (age 5) for the first time... Meaning, like, he rode his bike all on his own and I took my single-speed out for a spin with him.
In all of our past excursions I've had to walk because I've needed to be there to help him pedal, steer, and keep the rubber side down. But we've put in a lot of practice time together this past week with some major results.
He's currently riding with 1 single training wheel which he's afraid to remove, but he's tearing up the track like a speed demon!
We rode to a school parking lot around the corner and did "races" there. We stayed out for over 90 minutes. He was so excited to have a riding buddy. I told him I was too.
- Very nice!stoplying
- great! sounds like quality time! :)api
- Our whole family rides 2X a day, keeps us sane!
https://www.instagra…davey_g - Sweet whip there, Davey!nocomply
- Dear World: More notes like this, please. Sincerely, Everybodyzarb0z
- Nice! Hope his biking is life long!BustySaintClaire
- Thank you for posting this. And congrats! +1maquito
- Stoked for you, its such a good feeling, everything else melts away. Me and my 9yo hit the pump track at dawn before anyone gets there to ride our BMXs. Best.slappy
- :.)Nairn
- Thanks all! 2 weeks later now. No training wheels. He's purposefully steering into puddles and gravel patches for that extra thrill factor.nocomply

Had a few proud moments this year –
• our son decided, without letting us know, to take entrance tests to get into advanced placement art, math and an academically talented class that meets during lunch, he got into all of them, never told us, found out in passing conversation when he said he needed to work on a project for his AT group
• went to see him perform at band performance, there's no written program, just announced what's next. Kids standing up doing solo songs, the group doing songs together. The next thing we hear "Up next we have Firstname Lastname with his rendition of "This land is your land" - well it was almost comical how we looked grasping for our phones not knowing he had a solo. We knew he was performing this song, he was practicing like crazy, and doing great. We just didn't know it was a solo!
typing it out like this makes me think we're not doing something right, like we're missing some big things in his life, this just proves that he's not mine, or that he takes after his mom: I had won an award when I was young, but not that young, I was one of many "recipients". I said to my mom, I know I'm a recipient, I can't wait to go to the dinner to see who actually wins!"
- I'm not doing something right - that last paragraph doesn't make sense to mecanoe

I was doing phonics with my kid the other day and we started spelling words out.. Kind of amazing seeing him add up the letters and start 'reading' – even if it's rudimentary, still highly mindblowing!

One thing I find weird: In most content referring to infants (online and in books, youtubes etc), they invariably presume to refer to the infant as male "At x months point he should be.." blah blah.
I find it really odd.
I thought the accepted form in language generally was to assume the feminine gender?
- stopcanoe
- what?Nairn
- The traditional was to assume male but I see it the other way around more and more over the years. I suppose it is up to the author now.monospaced

Midget Nairn is beginning to stand unsupported and make a few steps, especially if she has a target to reach for (as you'd expect, I guess).
Got a call from Mrs Nairn earlier today - apparently Midget Nairn shouted "Mama! Mama!" which made me well up a bit, stuck as I am here in a cold workshop away from my wee fam.
Father of Nairn won't be so chuffed - he's already less than impressed by the prospect of Midget Nairn's first words being in Italian, rather than English, haha.
- Kind of glad first word is Mama! Especially given I've been trying to get her to say the three Cs of European linguistic civility -
"Catzo, Coño and Cunt"Nairn - *Cazzo, even - tsssk, Nairn.Nairn
- Father of Nairn should start speaking Spanish to get Midget Nairn confused, what later will make her/him pick the most obvious language: English.sted
- As it happens, Father of Nairn's lived in Spain for thirty-odd years and Spanish is one of the languages Mrs Nairn speaks (putting Nairn utterly to shame) :)Nairn
- how old is the bairn now?monospaced
- 11 months this week.She's nearly a year old. I've no idea where the fuck time's gone. I get it now, all the parents saying "treasure this time" etc. So short.Nairn
- According to this, she's on track:
https://www.marchofd…Nairn - Poor little fucker already understands 'No' from her Dad's panicked 'NO!' when she's pulling shit off shelves.
Also: Need better shelves.Nairn - Mine is just past 2 years now. Nearly full on conversations. It’s crazy.monospaced

Does anyone have a child with Trichotillomania (pulling out hair)? Our 8yr old son has been dealing with it for about 6 months. (goes along with his major anxiety/adhd/ocd struggles)...
anyone have success with helping child stop?
- Did all theses symptoms just start 6 months ago? Do you remember if he had strep or some other staph infection then?Gnash
- pulling started at about 6 months ago... major increased anxiety started a couple years ago (has had anxiety disorder for entire life)...slinky
- never confirmed for strep, but we are looking into PANDAS/PANS and Bartonella.slinky
