And this reminded me of exactly why that's not a good idea. Thanks for your comment. @Richard – It’s so easy to give them half of your attention.

He put one to many vegi-crackers in his mouth and you can guess what happened. I can assure you that you're not likely to forget that moment any time soon as well. What you touched on though, is something that I think will go a long way in our roles as parents. Being in tune with your child. As they get older we may not know exactly what situation they may be choking on, but if we stay in tune with them, we can recognize when it's time to step in and give them a smack on the back. I fear this simple little thing is where a lot of parents go wrong with their children so good job recognizing this early! I had the same experience with my son when he was less than a year old.
