Another thing those parents were right about when they said I would understand when I was a mom...
Cutting grapes.
Yes, I used to think that all those parents who cut grapes into fourths were out of their minds and way too paranoid. Isn't cutting them in half enough? Geez people, I thought.
It wasn't until I was a mom that I realized that cutting them in half does not change the diameter of the grape and they are still a choking hazard and it is not until you envision your little child choking on something you gave them that you cut the grapes in fourths.
I even cut blueberries, the small ones :).
For those of you who don't know about this website, blog, and magazine... it is hands down the best resource for parents out there. Dont live your parenting years without it.

I chop blueberries up in fourths too! I'm still too chicken to try grapes, though...
ReplyDeleteParanoid parents used to irritate me to no end. Who knew I'd be one of them?
