Lmao, i remember when my kid first started getting cranky when i wouldn't let her hold her own spoon and(/or) feed herself  It's evolved to where she loves just having a spoon to parade around with if she's not busy doing anything else. If she doesn't have one she'll come up to me and hold a hand out towards the spoon cabinet, then i ask "do you want a ... SPOOOOOOON?" and her eyes light up as i lift her to the cabinet so she can pick which color of babby spoon she wants.

Yeah that's kind of where mines at feeding wise. I try to mitigate as much as i can but I've just accepted that part of my day now is cleaning up and vacuuming after every mealtime, and sometimes also bathing the kid if she got it on her as well

When she's old enough I'm going to teach her some basic karate for self-defense and to get her used to the movements, then we'll probably all take some BJJ as a family to learn how to fight better. I'm also gonna teach her piano if she's interested (she probably will be, she loves music and already has her own little drum kit  )

My kid just turned 2 and has been very quiet for the most part. She spoke her first words a while ago, like around 15-16 months (mama & dada), but for the most part she's just said them like 2 or 3 times apiece and otherwise communicates nonverbally, either pointing at things or taking our hands and leading us to the location of whatever it is she wants at the time (snacks, pick-up, a toy she wants to play with together). We know she knows the words and understands a lot of stuff, but for whatever reason she just doesn't feel like actually saying anything. Today she decided to climb into my lap for one of my work meetings. I put the headset on her, and as soon as I did she waved at my coworkers and said a very clear "Hi." Then she greeted her grandma with a "Hi." and when she left with grandma she gave us kisses and waved and said a very clear "Bye." oh boy here we go, soon it's going to be nonstop questions and I can't wait lol

Mustached Demon posted:some kids just take everything in then explode in a fury of words seemingly overnight Yeah, it's been a while since I took my developmental psych classes but there's broadly 3 types of language development. One of the types does p much exactly this. And you probably only need to start being concerned after 24 months, based on what my doc said (I was starting to get concerned around 18mo)

Man I feel blessed as gently caress with my 2 year old. She's always taken falls really well, usually just gets right back up and tries to act like it didn't happen. She usually doesn't even cry, just kinda does a short complaining wail because I think falling makes her feel embarrassed? It's not an "I'm hurt" wail lol She wakes up during the night but when she does she'll just go turn the light on in her room and then "read" (look at her books) and play with her toys until she's tired again, then she'll turn the lights back off and go back to sleep e: on second thought she might actually be reading kinda. She recognizes all the letters of the alphabet and can point at and say most of them, and she does know what reading is (she's started pointing at the words as I read stories to her). So who knows!

So I've never heard the song "5 Little Ducks" until this past weekend, and it was kinda funny because we'd already put the kid to bed but just let the children's music pandora station continue to play afterwards while we picked up and got settled in for the rest of the evening and forgot about it. Later that night I had come in from smoking a couple bowls out back, and this song came on:quote:Five Little Ducks went out one day, over the hills and far away. I sat down shocked and wondering "oh god did the duckling get eaten by a cat or other predator, what the hell" and felt terrible for the poor mother duck at first. But as the song went on I got mad at her because she kept sending her ducklings over the hill and far away, losing one each time, and I was sitting there high as gently caress and in my feelings nearly tearing up about this song and thinking what the gently caress is wrong with this mama duck, does she hate her kids, why does she keep letting them go over the hill and far away like that??? And what a dark loving children's song what the hell!! And then quote:Sad mother duck went out one day, over the hills and far away And I was like "oh good they're okay!" and felt way too relieved for the ducklings in this stupid children's song My partner laughed her goddamn rear end off when I told her about it later Son of Thunderbeast has issued a correction as of 18:59 on Nov 15, 2021 |

TIL if my 2yo is trying to pitch a bullshit tantrum because she doesn't like that i said no to something, i can just mock her crying to her face and go WAHHH WAHHH and laugh, and she thinks it's hilarious. Instant mood change! Dunno if this would work with any other kids or if it's just cuz it's my kid In this case she was mad because i told her she couldn't climb and stand on the coffee table, because I'm a tyrant

This is all good to hear now while my little one is still 2. We started off trying cry it out when she had a sleep regression around 8 months or so (she started sleeping mostly through the night around 6mo), and she's independent enough and it worked well enough that we just used that as our baseline strategy--if she woke up in the middle of the night we'd give her 5-10 minutes to cry it out, and only go in if she didn't show signs of slowing down. Midnight "I woke up but nothing's wrong" cries eventually went away and now when she wakes up she'll just go turn on her room light and read ("read") quietly to herself or practice her alphabet/counting/colors or play with one of her musical toys until she's tired again, then she tucks herself back in. There was a month or so where she'd turn her lights back off before going to sleep too but she stopped doing that after a while lol

We've have the doorknob things on doors leading outside for months (I was a little escape artist as a kid and apparently once David Blaine'd myself out of a supposedly secure house at 2am when I was 3) so putting them on inside doors is no biggie, but on the other hand I would like her to have the option of leaving her room if she really needs to for whatever reason. We have a couple pet/kid gates but she's already learned (accidentally) she can just pull those off with her bodyweight lol

yeah sleep schedules can change suddenly and without warning. Ours' sleep has been consistent since she turned 2. The only issue is it's consistently "stay up until 10-11pm, then half the time wake up for an hour or two at 3am as well, then sleep until 8" At least she'll just chill in her room with her toys so it's not a big deal yet. Any day now she's going to get bored and come climb into our bed though I can feel it
