I have been so busy lately trying to manage 2 kids that I didn't realize that it had been over 3 weeks since I posted something. Sorry to all those that follow my blog that I haven't kept you informed about what we have been up to. Here is one new post and there will be many more to follow.
UPDATE:
I received the results from Reed's allergy testing a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately the first results were right. So he is allergic to soy and peanuts which now means I have to look at the ingredients of everything before I give it to him. Monday he went to a birthday party at Monkey Joe's and I had to find out from the mom who was throwing it what food was going to be there and where she was getting the cake from so I could check the ingredients. I will admit that at times this has been a hassle but when it comes to your child's health you will do whatever you need to do in order to keep them safe. One thing that has definitely helped me out is that all restaurants list ingredients and food allergies on their websites so now I know where we can and cannot eat. The only problem that I have run into is that Reed doesn't understand why he can't have certain foods so I just try to keep him away from those situations.

I work with a kid that is allergic to half the foods out there. He has a rare genetic condition that makes him allergic to simple sugars. He can eat some fruit, but not all. It is a fine line. She started early on by teaching him what his "no foods" are and says that they will hurt his insides. If he did eat them he would not get sick immediately but it will give him brain damage, kidney failure or worse. By age 4 he would tell me what foods he can not eat. His mom also has to bring foods that are "safe" when a child in his class has a party. Thank goodness we have the internet so that you can find tips from parents in a similar situation. Hope things are going well and that you are getting into some type of routine.
