Definitely trust your ped to keep an eye on this; I don't think there's much you can add by worrying. What that researcher says in the opening: “We do not yet know the clinical implications of this [...]” That's code for "We saw this in a petri dish and we don't know if it means anything yet. Please fund our further research". I guess if any children turn out to have actual damage, we'll find out.

We used to have one of those car organisers with lots of pockets that hung off the back of the drivers seats. When our eldest was younger she projectile vomited into it, and it was in every pocket. It was grim, it went straight in the bin. We then sold the car as we couldn’t get rid of the residual smell.

My son has decided not walking like a herd of elephants because downstairs neighbors is just entirely unacceptable and he's gonna move out and get a job at Netflix (so they'll stop removing the shows he likes of course) and it's going to be so awesome. Typical teenager stuff. Which.... child....you don't even remember to shower and wear deodorant unless I remind you right now. But sure.

We're making progress on potty training! Daughter used to be scared of peeing/pooping anywhere except her diaper and scared of sitting on the potty when it was clear she needed to go. But, with a bit of chocolate bribery she's getting less scared of the potty and she peed a bit in it yesterday! And on the floor and in the sink. She recognized that she was peeing each time, was startled a bit by it, but didn't freak out like she had in the past.

life is killing me posted:Anyone else’s toddler take small pieces of food and put them in weird places like water bottles, jars, etc? Just because they can? My son puts goldfish wherever, he keeps doing it even though we tell him not to do that and they are supposed to stay in his snack cup if they aren’t on their way to his mouth and/or down his gullet. One of my earliest childhood memories is being scolded for hiding a sandwich in a vase. I'm not sure if I turned out well enough to confirm that it's perfectly normal or not, but it sounds like a normal kid thing.

At day care 7.5 month old baby Pony sleeps for like 1 hour all day in two 30 minute naps and has like 4 hour wake windows. Comes home with "happy" and "active" on his sheet and the teacher says he just went went went all day. Comes home super happy then rapidly runs out of gas and goes down for a two hour nap, smiling the whole time. At home we can't get him from four to three naps in a day because he gets crazy fussy after being awake for 2:15 and practically falls asleep in place at 2:30. For his first and second naps we have to wake his butt up at 1:30 or else he'd just happily snooze for over two hours in a go. I'm not concerned or anything but I am extremely curious what the heck magic activities they are doing all day to keep him so engaged and happy (can't visit the classrooms now due to Covid precautions). Dude must be running on FOMO all day or something.

Trying to gather brainstorming suggestions: Since my daughter was born (5.5 months or so), I've been using The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel as a bedtime song. It's great for that purpose; the problem is that there's a line in it about whores, and I'm gonna need an alternate lyric to use there sometime before my kid learns to understand words. The stanza in question, for anyone who doesn't know/remember: quote:Asking only workman's wages Now, instead of this I started saying "Just a ride upon the horse on 7th Avenue", which scans, but has the disadvantage of not making any goddamn sense. Why would the speaker try to get a job and instead get a horseback ride? Pure gibberish. My wife, when I asked her, came up with "Just a honking from the cars on 7th Avenue," which makes sense internally, but doesn't really fit with the next line, in that it insinuates that the speaker would occasionally get so lonely that he would go back to 7th Avenue for the purpose of being honked at by cars, which raises a lot of questions. Can somebody help me think of some words to sing to this song that don't involve prostitution, non sequiturs, or car-horn fetishes, thanks in advance

Likewise, can someone come up with a kid-friendly line for “kiss my rear end I bought a boat I’m going out to sea” I feel like our ‘bum’ substitution will still get us a meeting with preschool teachers.

Not a lullaby but the other day my toddler was singing along to a Tropical Fuckstorm song lyric ‘your politics are nothing but a fond gently caress you’ and uhh, just ignored and made a mental note to avoid that one again.

We caught covid about 3 weeks ago and managed to keep the kid from getting sick through basically sheer dumb luck (he was at the grandparents house for babysitting when we got symptoms so they offered to keep him while we were sick and they all tested negative 9 days after his potential exposure so he seems to have escaped without catching it) but holy poo poo this is exhausting. I ended up in the hospital Tuesday and now I am basically useless 20 hours a day from "post-covid something or other". We both tested negative this week so we picked him up and it's just heartbreaking to not physically be able to take care of him all the time. My poor wife has to tank everything and I feel completely useless. I did laundry and scrubbed down all the furniture before we picked him up but that clearly was pushing too hard because I'm laid up in bed again.

Man that sucks, but seriously take it easy (err, as circumstances allow) because long covid is apparently worse if you try to power through it.

We are currently being ravaged by a stomach bug. 19 month old who co-sleeps puked a in our bed Wednesday night. All over my pillow... A half inch from my face! He continued puking that night but hasn't since. We've just had mild fever that comes and goes. I suspect the rest of us will come down with it any second now.

Not to scare, but sometimes kids with covid present with puking as the first symptom. Our nanny's kid got it (thankfully we weren't exposed) and has just had fever, occasional puking, and mild congestion for symptoms.

I guess we can dump a Costco sized bag of cheerios on the floor and turn Disney Jr on for a few weeks, but not sure he will be happy with that. He just has a 100 degree fever but seems happy and playful.

Nobody but the ER will test on Sunday here. I thought about that but our daycare had just notified us of a stomach bug so we assumed it was that. A kid in a nearby classroom tested positive about 10 days ago.

Pain of Mind posted:2 year old just tested positive This happened to some friends with their 3 year old, three weeks before the mom's due date. They put mom downstairs in the basement to fend for herself, the three year old upstairs, and dad outside on the deck (in December) except for sleeping and when the three year old needed him. They managed not to get it from him, and mom went late enough that she wasn't in quarantine while in labour and dad could attend the birth. But it was pretty touch and go.

Our 19-month-old only had about a 99.4 the day after he was throwing up and the next day they pretty much went away and it came back today at around 101... our pediatrician is not open tomorrow so we'll probably go Monday but we also have a friend whose kid is in our class as well and he started exhibiting the exact same symptoms today and he has a pediatrician that is open tomorrow so he's going to do it tested which will help us hopefully know about proxy.

He is not quite 2, and not old enough to really keep himself occupied or to self isolate or wear a mask, and our place is not really big enough to easily keep separate either. My plan is to keep windows open as much as possible (CA so not that cold), try and stay above his head level, and wash hands often. I am not really sure what else we can do.

Yeah unless you have family to take care of your kids - there is no isolating from parents. If your kid gets it, you just have to make whatever plans you can to quarantine with your kid.

All the vomity toddler posts have cursed me. My 2 year old woke me up by vomiting in my face. Then he vomited all over the bed and went full vomit breathing dragon in the bath. I forgot how much stomach stuff sucked at this age. He has no idea wtf is happening and lowkey panics when he has to puke, so getting him to aim for a container is almost impossible.

Man, our 2-y o was such a champ about puking last time she had a stomach bug. She didn't know wtf at first (woke up puking) and cried a while but once that settled, she sat on a stool by the toilet and made sure to stand up and aim down the bowl every time it came over her again. Then I showered her and she went and laid down on the tiles and insisted on sleeping right there. Wouldn't even let me put a towel under her - which I did as soon as she was asleep, of course.
