Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to explain to my one person on my staff why having kids aged 6 to 9 hammering in screws with the butt end of a screwdriver is neither safe, nor a good idea. FML
Today, I had to explain to my daughter that just because it says non-toxic on the crayons, it doesn't mean that you should eat them. She's 16. FML

Today, I learned the hard way that if you tell your child that they're old enough to cook their own food in the microwave, you have to make sure they're smart enough not to put the metal spoon in with the food as well. FML
Today, I was babysitting a two year-old. He was messing around with a silver fork and I told him it was dangerous. He then got mad at me, started crying, and stabbed me right in the foot. Be warned, even though they're little, they can still cause a lot of pain. FML

I think your baby would be safer on it's own than with her.

While as a toy, it is not the best option. However, my kids were all eating (or learning to eat) with a regular steel dinner fork at that age. And yes, they played with them as they were eating, no one ever got hurt.

I actually gave my daughter forks starting at 6 months. As soon as she could eat solid food. She never hurt herself and now at two, she's an amazing eater and is starting to use chopsticks.
