On this Thanksgiving weekend, I am feeling very thankful for all the items that Charlie has NOT choked on. Here are some of the items I have found in his mouth:
a safety pin
a screw
a pushpin
a hairball
a small bouncy ball
endless piles of sand
And, of course, the most frightening of all was the tiny lava rock from our fireplace. Had to call the paramedics on that one. We try really hard to have a safe environment for him, but it's pretty challenging with older siblings who leave things out. And many of the items on this list were when we were visiting other people's houses who do not have children. The hairball unfortunately was at our house (Zadie is the only one with long hair!).
Soon I think we will be in the clear and we'll not have to constantly be ripping things out of his mouth. We've got him trained pretty well -- we just say "Open your mouth!" and then he spits the item out.
