So, being the smart Mom that I am I gave her five pennies to play with. Of course she put them in her mouth and choked and we had to take a little trip to the hospital. Fortunately she never stopped breathing, they were just stuck in her throat. By the next morning they had gone down to her stomach and about a week later out they came. Very scary! I know this won't make you feel any better, but she's five now and I still catch her putting weird things in her mouth. Good luck!

Tabitha choked on a penny last year - ended up swallowing it - and guess what i got to do for the next week? Cut her poop up into little pieces to make sure the penny wasn't lodged somewhere. So yeah - picture me - holding my breath and butchering floating poops in the toilet with a plastic knife and fork. You may ask me now, "Did you find the penny?" Well of course not!!!! So we went to have x-rays. "Was the penny on the x-rays?" Well of course not!!!! It escaped through the one bowel movement that I forgot to dissect! All that poop chopping for nothing! Ain't motherhood grand?!! Jackson still likes to put foreign objects in his mouth. Tabitha choked on a penny last year – ended up swallowing it – and guess what i got to do for the next week?

I think since people only blog about the fun and happy stuff everyone's lives just seem so perfect. I sometimes find myself wishing I had more fun stuff to blog so that people would actually read my blog! :) Ava is only 4 months old and I'm already worried about her choking. It's scary being a mom.

You do have to be very alert and watch him like a hawk. Some things can be very damaging.....such as if he swallows something sharp and it goes through his system. It is more than a full-time job to try to monitor what goes in. The mouth is how babies explore their world and, brace yourself, it lasts for a very long time!
