Turns out meat really is murder...

So I went to an infant CPR and safety class today and know that the #1 choking hazard is for kids? Meat! Maybe that will help my campaign to keep Tate a vegetarian just a little longer.

The class was really good. It was led by a nurse at Prentice (where Tate was born). The instructional video for the CPR part of the class had actors portraying a scenario that involved grandparents babysitting their infant grandchild. They find the baby unresponsive in her crib and begin CPR. Even though the "baby" was just a doll, it brought tears to my eyes to even think about it.

The choking information was good too. The instructor said everyone in the class would probably have to help their child during a choking incident at some point since when kids first start eating they tend to shovel in more food than they can handle. Ha. She doesn't know about my plan to puree all of Tater's food until he's 16.

We saw that same video at the class we went to before Colleen was born. When it opened with that scene I thought for sure I would not make it through the rest of the class! I like your idea of pureeing food into the teen years :P
