Mario Kart

Leah let the kids borrow some games for the wii.  They love Mario Kart!  I do too!  I see us getting this very soon! 

My kids have been fighting like crazy lately.  I really want to find a book my pediatrician recommended when Carolina was born.  I need to quite saying it and find it.  Maybe it would have some helpful advice on this topic.  

However tonight I found this!  I love it!  Anytime they are nice or sweet to each other I am going to find a way to reward it! 

Our time at Baptist Tabernacle has been good.  I am slow to get comfortable around new people but people are so friendly it hasn't been hard for me.  Today was the first day in a long time I have gotten anxious about the food allergy issue.  Everyone has been so great and understanding I haven't even had to question what anyone's intentions where or if my kids would be safe.  Now really Caylea is my main worry because her reactions prove to be severe where Caden has outgrown the one's I knew how he reacted to.  He only has tree nuts left and he has never had one.  I tend to want to believe his first exposure won't be life threatening but of course we have epi pens always if needed.  

Anyways Caden had a hard time going to class today for the first time since the first time he went to Sunday school.  I am not sure what his deal was.  It could of been because Anthony is going to be out of town for 3 days or maybe it is because he is anxious about school starting Thursday.  I am not sure but either way he took some coaxing.  He came in crying I stayed for a minute spoke with the teacher about their donuts.  (At Baptist Tabernacle it seems the kids always have something to eat during the SS hour and most of the time also during Children's church~ I took Caylea snacks to leave there but we just grab one for Caden~ my next step is to leave him some safe snacks in his class he stays in the same room for Sunday School and Childrens  Church this year!) 

So I looked at the donuts and mentioned they weren't safe but handed his teacher his safe honey bun.  She said they also had gold fish which we had talked about before were okay.  I went up to my life group had class.  When I came back down stairs for church I decided to risk it and take a peak at him.  He was eating a donut.  Now I knew there weren't nuts in the donuts just risk of cross contamination 

.  I tried to blow it off and just went to church.  It was bothering me though because I was worried about the future and if his teacher understood.  

Anthony said talk to Caden first and see what he said.  I think I was more worried about offending his teacher than anything else.  So I thought I'll talk to him pray about it and talk to her next week.  Well during hand shaking time during service we ended up running into each other.  She asked about what he was allergic to and so I felt I should just ask her.  She said both her and Caden misunderstood me and thought I said the donuts were safe.  (I can not wait for him to be old enough to read the labels like his sister~she may not get it 100% of the time but it's close)

She was worried and wanted to go check on him and talk to the Children's church teacher.  I told her he was fine he would let us know if he didn't feel well.  I am actually more worried about actual nuts with him.  We avoid the warning labels more as a precaution for Caylea and also to protect him in the future.  My hope is that with NO exposure he will outgrow this last allergy.  

I will be making allergist appointments soon.  We haven't been since right before we moved.  I wanted to give the kids a break from the testing and constant appointments.  I really didn't feel it necessary to go every few months.  I have heard a lot of good things about this one allergist last time I called it was a 2 month waiting list so I think a lot of people must like her.  

I am going to try to get back into writing more.  I've been pretty lazy about it and focusing more on my pictures but I think my kids need some more words to go along with their picture memories!  (not that they need this about allergies lol this was more for me)
