Hi there! Sorry to leave this here, but I didn’t see an e-mail address. I did get the mudroom I so longed for, and I posted about it. It’s on the blog! Thanks for stopping by! I’m off to read more of yours!

I can understand why you’re a little bit paranoid–I mean, your child’s life could depend on it. I’m sure it will be fine especially as he gets older and understand what he’s not supposed to eat.

I can be an overprotective mommy as well and one thing that I fear is allergic reactions. Thankfully, it’s something that we have not had to face. I had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic when I was in college and had to be treated with an EpiPen and rushed to the ER….it was one of my most scary moments.

I can assure you that some of the pressure will be taken off you as he gets older. When they come to understand what causes the reaction and how dangerous it can really be, they take on the responsibility as well. We found out Emma was allergic to peanuts when she was 2. She did the same thing, threw up everywhere. She had two more episodes from that time until she was almost 5(her worst reaction being her eyes swelling shut). After the last episode it was like something clicked and she became very cautious about what she ate, especially when we’re out. She is very good about asking if certain foods(especially homemade sweets)contain peanuts and will not eat it if there’s a question. Last Saturday she went to a birthday party and didn’t eat any cake because she was unsure if it contained peanuts. Thankfully she hasn’t ingested any peanuts products or had a reaction in 6 years!

If you are a dramatic Mama that I am a dramatic Daughter. My mom is SEVERLY allergic to tree sap on fresh cut trees. To the point that a wreathe was brought into her office, and her throat closed INSTANTLY. Thanks GOODNESS for her EpiPen. I have a reminder on my calendar to remind her to renew her epipen…and ask her all the time if she is having any problems at all. I am a FREAK when it comes to that. You do not mess withsome that will kill you.

Oh, and Boo’s school is FAB with allergies. One of her besties has a severe peanut allergy and parents are told at the beginning of the year and all major holidays NOT to bring peanut or any nut into the classroom. A few years before Boo and her friend even started there they added a “Peanut Free Zone” on a lunch table. Boo can only sit with her friend if she has a “Peannut Free” lunch. Now, at least three times a week she tells me “No Peanut Butter Mom…I want to sit by Taylor”.
