I am glad to hear they think its not a big deal:) I will tell you that last year when Em. was not quite 2 she took a bite out of a brilliant bright red glass bulb ornimant from the tree (im thinking she thought it was an apple)! Then I had another proud moment when Maddy stuck a bead up her nose on mothers day that required forseps (sp) to remove.
