So Catie's allergies have been my daily challenge...and I have been making a big stink about it! Yes I know I gripe too much! It's what I do!!! I don't know what else to do...she is frustrated because all these foods she could have previously she can no longer have. She is now allergic to them...it's like I have taken half of her childhood away. If she had never tasted them I think it would be different for her, but she knows what she is missing. The upside to all this is...we are all eating a much healthier diet because of this allergy.
I have been reading every label. Most processed foods have dye in them...so I am having to make so many things from scratch. The food tastes so much better the kids eat better. Alex is making a fuss because it doesn't look the same but it sure does taste better...as soon as I get him to take a bite he usually loves what I have made, it's getting him to take a bite that is usually the hard part.
Catie is missing the junk food...the Doritos, Twizzlers and M&M's of it all. We have had to look very hard to find the fruit snacks that are 100% juice not dyed so she can have fruit snacks like other kids too. It's hard work being a mom sometimes but I'm willing to do it for my little girl.
