[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here's what I would say:

"Thank you SO much for taking care of Larlo while we are away.  Here is his bag, here are the emergency contacts, and here is a list of the foods that he can't eat yet.  One of the ones on here that is really important is popcorn.  I never would have known this before our pediatrician told us, but popcorn is one of the top 5 choking hazards for children Larlo's age.  I was even skeptical of that as a real risk until my nephew Sam choked on popcorn last year.  He survived, but he aspirated some and had to be hospitalized.  We are so lucky it wasn't worse, but some kids have died and others have gotten irreversible brain damage from choking on popcorn.  Larlo mentioned he had some here last week so I just wanted to make sure you were aware.  I totally understand that you didn't know beforehand - it never would have occurred to me, either.  But it's really important to us that you avoid popcorn as well as the other choking hazards on this list."

Even better if your DH will deliver the news.[/quote]

Op Here. Thank you. I think I will do a miX of yours and pps.  I'll forward Dh the email and he sends it [/quote]
