Ellie really wanted to share my popcorn with me one afternoon, so I let her. She's pretty darn good at chewing up foods that rank pretty high on the Food Chewing Difficulty Charts (just made that up), so I didn't think it would hurt her. Sometime after I had put Ellie to bed, I told Dan "oh guess what? Ellie ate half a bowl of popcorn today!" feeling quite proud of her accomplishment. He looked at me with his best pediatrician face and said "what??!!" Then he told me she could have died from it! Ah! Evidently it's a well known choking hazard... guess I need to find a few books and brush up on my child rearing.
Love,
The Raz's
