who would've thought that i'd forget the date
when our food allergy journey began.
i'm writing this two years later than posted, because food allergies and eczema pushed me over the parenting edge. two years later i'm going to sit down and update the family blog, ha.
what started as "are his eyes swollen?" after a spoonful of yogurt turned into a total change in our life. in your life. food allergies suck. i know it could be worse, it could be so many awful things but still, allergies suck. the road is about to get bumpier buddy. it'll suck for you before it gets better and mom's anxiety will go through the roof. your brother and sister will learn as well, they'll ask before giving you snacks, they'll pretend your food is just as good as theirs, they'll (usually) understand when we say we can't go out for pizza or stop for ice cream.
i can say this because i'm here two years later writing this...it'll be ok. you're going to be ok.
