During cold and flu season it isn't a bad idea to put out a few hand sanitizer pumps. Put one in the kitchen, one in your kids bedroom, clean your hands before feeding him, before and after changing, and so forth. Not fool proof, but I think it's a good idea. Our local elementary schools started having hand sanitizer all over the schools, and in several places in the classrooms, and encouraged the kids to use it at various times. The number of kids out with flu and who had colds drastically went down.
It'll be about 8-10 months before your kid has enough precision to press down a single key. It'll vary, but at 9ish month my daughter could put those juice box straws through a hole. It'll be a while until they have the strength to actually push down the key.
My 3 year old has had a runny nose off and on for about 8 months. I mentioned it to the pediatrician and they just shrugged after confirming that he was in preschool and the nose was the only symptom. The entire world is a germ factory and the immune system needs practice. They'll get over it unless it's an allergy to something non-seasonal in your household.
Maybe it IS your friends kid at that age. Time-travel is a helluva thing! Dun dun DUN!!!

So my 1.5 y.o. kid is apparently part goat
He apparently ate an entire apple core the other day
I've always given him little bite-sized pieces of apple when I'm eating one, but he seemed to indicate that he wanted an entire apple to gnaw on.
So I gave him half an apple, he sat down and starting working on it while I was cooking dinner...good distraction.
15 minutes go by and the ENTIRE apple is completely gone. Core, stem, and all. Little bastard ate the entire thing(I looked all over, thinking he just hid the core somewhere, but nope)
Seemed to have no ill effects on him, he was happy, ate something healthy, and it kept him busy for about 20 minutes. Win/win/win.

She's going to poop an apple tree. Be sure to plant it in her own manure. It will grow best that way, and will produce sweet, sweet fruit.

I used to give my apple cores to my dog, but someone convinced me it was bad because the seeds contain poison.
FromAre Apple Seeds Poisonous?
"Apple seeds do contain a small amount of cyanide, which is a lethal poison, but you are protected from the toxin by the hard seed coating. If you eat whole apple seeds, they pass through your digestive system relatively untouched. If you chew the seeds thoroughly, you will be exposed to the chemicals inside the seeds, but the dose of toxins in an apple is small enough that your body can easily detoxify it."
So, bottom line, as long as the seeds weren't chewed, no problem. Even if they were, it was a pretty small dose, so probably not a problem. But I wouldn't let her keep doing it. Maybe core the apple next time?

I went to high school with a kid named Kanyon. He was super fat and he walked into PE class one day and the dumb ass coach said "The Grand Kanyon!". He just stood there and the coach said "That's gotta be old." It was a very uncomfortable moment.

Ha, premade porn names, all the new rage.
We're about to move my 5 year old (6 in a month or so) down to her own room in the basement. We have some stuff to get done before that can happen. Right now she shares a room and a bed with her sister, who is going to be fucking CRUSHED when this happens. But it has to happen, they are at an age where they just egg each other on and create bad situations.

Every kid is different. You guys will find your stride. And the first night your kid sleeps through, you'll wake up feeling guilty and panicy, thinking they must clearly have died in the night, and you were just too tired to notice.
It will happen. Sleep will come.
