Peanut Butter & Jelly

***
I think of this every time I make Seth a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When Seth was 18 months he was allergic to peanut butter. This allergy lasted about a year. We knew he was allergic because he would cry and his face turned red, he acted irritated when he ate peanut butter, peanuts or candy bars with peanuts. As he got better at speaking he explained that peanuts make his mouth and ears hurt. When he was 2 1/2 years old he asked for peanut butter on his waffles, the way Tom likes it, we were concerned but gave him a tad of PB on his waffles. He ate them just fine. And since then he can eat PB just fine. I think it is remarkable that his body overcame the allergy. I don't know how it did it or what changed but I'm happy that a peanut allergy is no longer a problem for him. So if anyones kiddo has an allergy it is possible that they may grow out of it. That is my point in sharing this tidbit of info. Smiles

We are off to Montana on Tuesday. We are looking forward to all the activities up there. Tom's parents have a lovely home that can accommodate everyone so we always have the best time. I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving. I'll post pictures of our holiday when we get back.
