Why do I want them? Because, I'm going to cut up your food until you're 18 years old and you eventually leave me. Why am I going to do that? Because, I don't think I will ever, EVER get over my fear of you choking. I mean, it might help when you have more than 5 teeth. A little. Right now, I'll give you a small bite of chicken and I'm talking VERY SMALL. As your little fingers guide the chicken towards your mouth I panic and think, wait that wasn't small enough. Was it? No, look at it Siri, it's huge, IT'S HUGE! GRAB IT! GRAB IT! I will then grab it and break it up into minute pieces, almost to the point where it becomes invisible.
This is NOT helping you learn to eat. I need to take a chill pill. Yeah, I said that.
Thanks Style Cafe Moms for the info on the shears. You can buy them HERE.
That is hilarious. :-) I felt the same way for a long time, and still do sort of. Unfortunately I have a daughter (just past the 1.5 year mark) who loves to stuff giant bites into her mouth. If you offer her a bite of your banana she'll bite off half of it. If you offer her a bite of your muffin she will snatch the thing and stuff it all in her pie hole. She has not choked yet so I think she's got the hang of the whole chewing thing. She's so like her father. :-)
