A Cautionary Tale

Books with flaps or tabs can be a choking hazard.

Owen was cruising along the edge of the sofa...I was typing an email right next to him.

He kept making noises like he was chewing the "o's" from his tray.
Then he made a gagging sound (he didn't choke..thank goodness) and I looked over and saw something red in his mouth.

While I wasn't looking, he managed to chew or tear off the tab to a little red book. He had the whole tab in his mouth and he was chewing it (and walking around) like he was intending to EAT it. Or at least SWALLOW it.

I should have read my own post about "babyproofing everything."
