Snack attack

Since Dash's second hour of preschool last week, I have been stressed out about how to approach the teacher with regard to the items they're serving for snack.  Specifically, when I read the "board" that annonces what the kids did and ate that day, the teacher had listed wheat crackers and grapes.  GRAPES!  For two year olds.  Anyone who's ever read a baby book knows that it is against medical advice to give any child under age five whole grapes, popcorn, hot dogs, or raw nuts.  These are major choking hazards.  These are things that I didn't think would be fed to my child at preschool. 

I have plenty of friends who chose to offer these items to their children before they turned five.  Just like I don't proselytize about my religion, I don't proselytize about parenting, either -- to each his own, I say.  Since I've had to give Dash the Heimlich maneuver twice to prevent him from choking to death (once on chicken, once on pizza), I am pretty obsessive about making sure that known choking hazards are out of his reach.  So, how do I proceed with this request?

Friends have offered some suggestions for handling this dilemma.  One suggested that perhaps the teachers cut the grapes, so I'm worrying over nothing (doubtful, in my opinion).  One suggested that I print out pediatric recommendations about what not to feed children and give the printouts to the head of the school and to the teacher (a bit too aggressive, perhaps).  One, a former preschool teacher, said to write a nice note to the teacher, and, as long as I keep it nice, it'll be well received (maybe the best of the suggestions). 

Me, I'm pretty sure that Dash won't eat any of these things if offered anyway (he didn't touch the grapes), but I'm not comfortable doing nothing.  Right now I'm thinking that I'll just talk with the teacher and share with her my discomfort at the situation -- I don't want to be THAT mom who always makes trouble -- and ask her if she'd like for me to write a note to formalize the request.  Or I can just keep Dash home eating mashed potatoes until he's past five, or ten...
