No Heimlich

If you ask your 2 year old if he is choking and he manages to answer yes to that question, he is probably not choking.

Blow in his face.

Then he'll try to swallow and choke.

When all of the Streams were infants they would do that silent, red faced cry and I would blow in their face. They gasped instead of passing out.
Those were the days.

Crap. I have so much to learn. Today I had to double-check that honey was safe for an 8-year-old.

If you're wondering, it is.
Safe, that is.

Hi Erin-
Ya, the number I think you are looking for is 2.

LOL that is so true, Carla. :D
Bonnie likes to say she's choking every time she coughs.

I have to remind her of the difference between coughing and choking...don't know if it'll ever sink in.

I figure if my 7 year-old is coughing, I say, "areyouokay?" and he rolls his eyes and says, "Mom, quit asking that every time I cough."...all is well.

Erin, that is absolutely hilarious about the honey. That is just funny stuff. Way to be careful. :)
