Dangerous! Very Closed

In order to make sure that Ethan sit still inside his highchair while we were busy washing the plates, we give him an ice cream to eat.

This is the type of ice-cream that comes in a paper cup and a wooden scoop. At first he was eating happily alone, scooping up the ice-cream with the wooden scoop. Then suddenly, we heard him grumbling. Daddy turned his head and saw Ethan biting on the wooden scoop. Quickly daddy noticed that part of the scoop had been torn. Seems like Ethan had bitten off part of the wooden scoop. Daddy panicked and swiftly dig out the wooden debris from Ethan's mouth.

After digging out quite a bit of the wood, daddy still noticed that Ethan was munching on something in his mouth. Daddy forced Ethan to open his mouth widen and saw 2 more wooden debris in his mouth. Mummy quickly dig his mouth to get the wood out. Ethan was crying and resisting. We are sweating and worried that he would swallow the wood. After trying a while, we managed to get 1 of the debris out.

The other one is nowhere to be found. Luckily it was quite a small piece and not sharp. I think he might have swallowed it during his struggle to break free from our attempt to open his mouth.

Mummy said to observe for the next half day whether Ethan coughs or not. Since he did not show any abnormal signs, we were relieved.

Before the case, Ethan was happily playing in the garden
