On the topic of self feeding....some things perplex me. I have a tiny almost 2 year old that can eat any of my kids under the table...but she shoves so much food in her mouth, until she can't get anymore in! She does the same at home too! And yet, not once has this child choked on anything?! And yet, I have 2 one year olds...1 self feeds no problem, he has the 'bite' concept,(rather than shoving I all in). My other 1 year old, I have to cut up food in tiny pieces and give it piece by piece...because she chokes everytime if I don't (she is a 'shove it all in kid too). Weird how they are all so different?!
