If anyone cares . . . this is how I cut up my pears for mt son:
I cut the pear down the middle, top to bottom. Then I peel the skin off each side with a potato peeler (I find it's less messy when I have it cut in half already). Then I take each of the peeled halves and cut them in half again (top to bottom). Then I take a knife and cut out the seedy middle area of each of the four sections. I eat the sections like that, or cut them even smaller for my son.
Hope that helped someone!
